This recipe for Sausalito Cookies is a homemade spin on the Pepperidge Farms classic. My version makes soft chocolate chip cookies with crispy raw sugar bits, loaded with salty macadamia nuts!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup turbinado sugar (Or Sugar in the Raw)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cup milk chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup salted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped, divided

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F

  2. 2

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and both sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes until combined.

  4. 4

    Add in the eggs, vanilla, baking soda and salt and combine for 1 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.

  5. 5

    Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    With the mixer on the lowest setting add in 1 3/4 cup of the milk chips and 3/4 cup of the macadamia nuts.

  7. 7

    Using a large (3 tablespoon) cookie scoop drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Place a few chocolate chips and a few nuts onto the tops of the cookie dough before they bake.

  8. 8

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden at the edges.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
