Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If the dough is too dry, stir in the non-dairy milk.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious vegan macadamia cookies or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
