Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Vegan butter
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Vegan white chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cups Macadamia nuts, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to cream together the vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the vegan white chocolate chunks and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your vegan white chocolate macadamia nut cookies!
