Considering there’s not a lick of chocolate in these cookies, I’m always surprised at how much I seriously love them. Using white chocolate (candy corn) M&MS is such a fun twist on the classic white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, and I think you are going to really like these too!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, packed
  • ¾ tsp baking soda, dissolved in 1 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 package Candy Corn White Chocolate M&MS

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter with the brown sugar in the microwave. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the egg, the egg yolk, and the vanilla.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until dough forms.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and M&MS.
  6. Scoop ¼ tablespoon of dough and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Keep each cookie about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 11 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet.

Notes & Tips for Making White Chocolate M&M Macadamia Nut Cookies

  • Save a handful of white chips and M&MS to press into the tops of the cookies after they bake. It makes them look so good!
  • I made these cookies pretty big– using ¼ cup of dough for each cookie! You don’t have to do that. About half of that size (2 tablespoons) is a pretty good size cookie. Just remember to decrease your baking time by a couple of minutes.
  • Remember that M&MS bleed their colors if chilled. So while you technically can refrigerate or freeze this dough for whatever reason, just remember that the colors may bleed some. I recommend baking the entire batch on the same day you make the dough and avoid any kind of chilling.

  1. I saw these M&M’s at Target but didn’t buy them because I didn’t know what to do with them. Now, I’m kicking my own butt! These cookies look amazing. Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.

  2. I just made your cookies, and they are Yummy! Couldn’t find the m&m’s, so I just pressed candy corn pieces into the cookies when they were still warm. Thanks for the great recipe. I love your blog!
