How to make vegan white chocolate macadamia nut cookies
Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Next, beat in the milk and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt to the bowl, then slowly beat them into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Finish by folding in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Want more mix-ins? Dried cranberries folded into the dough would give the cookies a festive twist. Roll scoops of the cookie dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Place the sheets in the fridge for 30 minutes so the cookie dough balls can firm up. After chilling, bake the cookies until they’re just barely golden around the edges. Do not overbake the cookies! You’ll know they’re done when the tops look puffy and the edges are just starting to brown. It’s okay if they still look a little underdone; they’ll continue to cook and firm up on the baking pans after they come out of the oven (it’s the secret to a chewy, soft cookie!). Let the cookies rest on the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy!
