I have recently become obsessed with Subway’s White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, but that’s just not a treat I can afford to indulge in often.
So I’ve been baking away in the kitchen trying to come up with my own knock-off version for a healthy White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookie Recipe, and boy oh boy was I successful!
It took me a few tries to get the ingredients just right, and in my attempts, I realized that I couldn’t use certain types of butter substitutes and/or egg substitutes. So I had to figure out a way to fit all the good ingredients in, but still keep it a low calorie, low fat cookie.
In the end, an amazing, low Points White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies Recipe was born that tastes just as good as the higher fat version, but is a lot better in helping you reach your weight loss goals.
Now you can have your cookie and eat it too! Enjoy!
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light butter-like spread - at room temp (I used Country Crock)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped raw macadamia nuts
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the butter and sugar and smooth. Then add in the egg, the vanilla extract and the almond extract.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Slowly stir the sugar mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and nuts. Drop the dough by tablespoon onto cookie sheet. There should be enough dough for 24 cookies.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for another 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
