About this Recipe
Missing that iconic buttery, crunchy, and chocolatey cookie from your childhood?

This version makes a soft chocolate chip cookie, featuring delightful pockets of crispy raw sugar and an abundance of salty macadamia nuts.
What makes these Homemade Sausalito Cookies truly special is the perfect textural interplay that sets them apart. You get a soft, chewy cookie base that beautifully contrasts with the delightful crunch of turbinado sugar, paired with the rich, salty bite of macadamia nuts.

Prepare for a rich, buttery cookie experience with every bite.

These cookies offer a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, promising a deeply satisfying indulgence that tastes truly homemade and special.
Feel free to customize these delicious cookies to suit your preferences. If turbinado sugar isn't available, regular granulated sugar can be used, though you'll miss some of that signature crisp texture. For a different twist, you could swap milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips to adjust the sweetness. While salted macadamia nuts are key to the unique flavor balance, other salted nuts like pecans or walnuts could be substituted if preferred.
