Once I was little, I believed white chocolate macadamia cookies have been fancy! In spite of everything, they aren’t one thing that everybody makes usually so at any time when I obtained one I believed it was a deal with! I imply macadamia nuts are a bit spendy in spite of everything, so I assume which may a very good purpose to name them fancy. Just a few years again I bear in mind seeing a bulk bin of them within the retailer I labored at and so they have been like $34/lb even again then (they’re in all probability extra now). I made a decision to purchase some at Aldi final weekend and I wished to make cookies with them. However swap it up from the white chocolate macadamia cookies to Vegan Double Chocolate Macadamia Cookies with darkish chocolate. As a result of I actually truly desire darkish chocolate as scrumptious as white chocolate is.
I used my chocolate chip cookie base, which I’ve perfected to come back out excellent each time and added cocoa powder to make it a chocolate base. It has apple sauce in it to make the cookies chewy (the way in which I like my chocolate chip cookies)! For the fats I take advantage of coconut oil, because it behaves form of equally to butter in these cookies and provides them simply the correct quantity of richness. This dough is so heavenly and scrumptious! I did should get pleasure from some whereas making them, that’s the better part, proper?
I added in vegan darkish chocolate chips, as a result of these are my favourite and naturally the macadamia nuts. Which have been toasted and salted to make them already scrumptious. As I discussed earlier I discovered them at Aldi, and be warned they’re fairly addicting whenever you begin to snack on them. I ate nearly the remainder of the bag whereas making the cookies. These cookies smelled completely wonderful whereas baking, like chocolaty brownies! I couldn’t wait to style them!
I needed to pattern one heat whereas the chocolate chips have been nonetheless gooey and it was so heavenly! They have been chewy and wealthy with chocolate taste, candy with a touch of vanilla and the decadent darkish chocolate and crunchy salty macadamias have been the right pairing! If you’re within the temper for one thing chocolaty and scrumptious, positively make a batch of those Vegan Double Chocolate Macadamia Cookies!
