Can You Freeze White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies?
Yes! You can freeze baked white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough. Here’s how:
- To freeze baked cookies: Allow the baked cookies to cool completely. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for about three hours or up to overnight. Transfer the now-frozen cookies to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Wrap in at least one layer of foil for extra protection. Freeze for up to two months.

1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture; fold in macadamia nuts and white chocolate.
Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Allow to come to room temperature then continue with step 4. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, no need to thaw.
White Chocolate Chips: I usually use closer to 1 and 1/4 cups white chocolate chips, about 210g. For looks, you can press a few extra chips into the tops of the warm cookies when they come out of the oven.
Macadamia Nuts: I used salted dry-roasted macadamia nuts. You can use unsalted, raw, and/or whichever macadamia nuts you love most. Salted dry-roasted adds incredible flavor though.
