Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 ounces (1 1/2 cups) white chocolate baking squares), cut into small chunks, or white baking chips
3/4 cup roughly chopped, unsalted, toasted macadamia nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and mix together until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Blend in the flour mixture in 3 stages and stir in the white chocolate and the nuts.
  • Scoop out walnut-sized mounds of the cookie dough and place on the cookie sheet, leaving 2-inches between the mounds. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are golden. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and transfer the cookies from the parchment to cooling racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.

Mocha Ice Cream Sandwiches with Macadamia Nut-Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     dessert

Time 1h7m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 scoops Mocha Ice Cream, recipe follows
1 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes
1 dozen Macadamia Nut-Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate Chunk Cookies, recipe follows
4 ounces Hawaiian vintage chocolate semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces chocolate chips
3/4 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts*

Steps:

  • Let the ice cream soften at room temperature until a spreadable consistency, about 5 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, spread the toasted coconut.
  • Place one 1/2-cup scoop of ice cream in the center of 6 cookies. Press down on the ice cream with the scoop to push the ice cream out to the cookies' edges. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing together to form sandwiches. With a butter knife, smooth the ice cream around the edges. Roll the sandwiches in the toasted coconut and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until just firm, about 10 minutes before serving. (Or, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.)
  • In the top of double boiler set over medium high heat, melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until slightly thickened. Whisk 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture. Whisk in the coffee powder. In a slow, steady stream, gradually add the egg mixture to the pan of hot cream. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and strain the mixture into a clean bowl through a fine mesh strainer, pressing against the strainer with the back of a spoon. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla. Pour into a container and cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • When cold, pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Churn and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream has come together, transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla and mix well.
  • Onto a sheet of waxed paper or into a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix well. Fold in the chocolate and nuts.
  • With a 1/4-cup scoop, portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, leaving 2-inches between each piece. Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. With a spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool before assembling the ice cream sandwiches.

SOFT & CHEWY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES



Soft & Chewy White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut Cookies image

These cookies are thick, soft, and chewy - just what you want a chocolate chunk cookie to be. They're not too sweet, except when you happen across a nice cool hunk of white chocolate, and when that happens at the same time as when you get a bit of salty macadamia nut, it's pure cookie nirvana.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks (about 8 ounces, chopped)
1 cup coarsely chopped roasted salted macadamia nuts (about 4 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer affixed with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes (or use a large bowl and a hand mixer).
  • Add the brown sugar and granulated (white) sugar and continue beating on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, continuing to beat each time until well-incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  • With the mixer on low speed, carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. Stir in the white chocolate chunks and the macadamia nuts.
  • Scoop a generous tablespoonful of the dough (I use this cookie dough scoop) and roll into a ball. Tear the ball in half, turn each half a quarter turn, and smoosh the dough back together with the torn side now at the top of the cookie. Gently shape so that the dough ball is taller than it is wide and place on cookie sheet about three inches apart.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, until edges of cookie begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes on cookie sheet so the cookie can set. Carefully move to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh when kept in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 - 4 days, or can be frozen for up to two months.
