Easy Macadamia Nut Cookies Recipe

 

I would be seriously remiss if I did not include a little Aloha in my holiday cookies. The Hawaiian Islands are a huge part of my life and a place I hope to retire too at some point.

This year we missed our family trip to Hawaii for a variety of reasons and I have to say I am missing the Aloha spirit and sunshine right now. My parents have been tormenting us with photos of the beach, City of Refuge, and tropical beverages...Just plain evil of them if I do say so myself.

I decided to bring the Aloha spirit into the house by baking with seriously yummy Hawaiian Host Milk Chocolate AlohaMacs! It doesn't get much better than biting into a Hawaiian Host chocolate treat.

I had to hide the box from John because he LOVES Hawaiian Host Chocolates. I don't want to give my hiding spot away in case he reads this post but let me tell you it is a process to keep these chocolates away from my Husband.

I actually made the cookies while he was at work because I didn't think there would be enough Hawaiian Host chocolates to make it in the dough if he was home.

Ingredients

  • Hawaiian Host Milk Chocolate AlohaMacs
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • Light Brown sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Baking Soda

Recipe Tips

When you want to showcase the ingredients you have added to your cookies make sure roll the cookie dough in a few extra ingredients or if you are using a cookie scoop add the ingredients inside the scoop before you put the dough in.

This will help to ensure that your special ingredients can be seen. Plus it makes your cookies look chunky and yummy with Hawaiian Host Chocolate AlohaMacs!

    Those look amazing! My husband and I honeymooned on Maui over Christmas the year we got married. It was so incredible! Coming from the midwest, It was a bit odd for us to see all the Christmas lights on palm trees. Not that we couldn't get used to it though. 😉 We loved everyone saying Mele Kalikimaka.

    What a beautiful way to pay tribute to the Hawaiian Islands this holiday season! I must agree with you; how completely and totally devious they are to torture you with pictures of the sunshine and beach.

    I certainly hope that you'll be able to travel back there soon so you can torture all your blog readers with the sunshine and beach, too. LOL
