History & Health Benefits
You may know that Oatmeal is an excellent source of both soluble & insoluble fiber. Hence, we should all be eating oatmeal to lower our cholesterol & stabilize our blood glucose levels!
Although Macadamia nuts are very calorie-rich nuts, they are also high in Healthy Fats, vitamins & minerals too. Most significantly, they are over-loaded with Antioxidants!
There are those that think White chocolate is not “chocolate”. Consequently, it is made with Cocoa butter, which is derived from the cocoa bean. Therefore, it is just as true chocolate as milk, semi-sweet or dark! Also, they ALL come from the Wonderful Majestic Cocoa Bean. It is only the cocoa powder solids that give chocolate its color! Therefore, the more cocoa powder solids chocolate contains, the darker the chocolate.
But Cocoa Butter is actually an oil called Theobroma. It is an edible fat that’s been extracted from the cocoa bean! Consuming Cocoa butter is thought to improve heart health, but also reduce inflammation, increase energy & boost immunity. It’s also So YUMMY! Thank you to Conrad Von Houten in 1828 for inventing the cocoa press!
Unfortunately, Butterscotch does not have any healthy traits. Although, the taste alone could be attributed to making you feel good! And if you feel good, you’re more likely to work to be healthy, right? So, we must thank Samuel Parkinson, of Doncaster, Yorkshire England. He was a candy confectioner in 1817. Supposedly, he discovered or “named” Butterscotch. There are rumors that the word “butterscotch” actually came from the word “Scorch”. We can all be truly happy that a scorched batch resulted in our beloved Butterscotch! #Butterscotch
So, have I convinced you to try these Fantastic White Mac Scotchies? After all, you deserve a Treat once in a while!
Ingredients for Our White Mac Scotchies
- 2&1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 Teas Baking Soda
- 1 Teas Salt
- 1 Cup Butter – softened
- 1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Teas Vanilla
- 2 Cups Oats
- 1 Cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 Cup White Chocolate chips
- 1 Cup Chopped Macadamia nuts
Preheat 350°
Whisk the flour, baking soda & salt & set aside.
**One little note: Thank goodness for Microwaves! Sometimes I forget to take the butter out of the refrigerator. The Soften feature on the microwave is so appreciated!
Cream the softened butter, brown & white sugars. Whisk in the eggs & vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until completely blended. Then fold in the chips, nuts & oats.
Most people say to “drop by the teaspoon”. But we like dropping by the Tablespoon! Why waste your time making more cookies when you’re just going to eat 2 anyway? So, make the cookies bigger in the 1st place & you can say you “Only ate ONE”!
Bake 12-14 minutes
Our preference is to bake only until they are just turning golden. Then let the cookies rest on the sheet for 2 minutes before removing them. That way they are still a little gooey …..
Typically, we double this recipe just because they disappear so fast! But if you have a chance to “make a little extra”, this dough does freeze well. I was able to do that ONCE, but somehow the dough disappeared from my freezer! It is so convenient to freeze dough balls, take them out of the freezer & put them directly into the oven. It’s not even necessary to pre-heat the oven. The dough will start to thaw as the oven warms up. Although the cookies take a few more minutes to bake, it is well worth having hot-out-of-the-oven Fresh White Mac Scotchies! It’s only 5 – 10 minutes longer. Surely, that’s not too long to wait?
Another of our prominently featured cookies within our household is the Cookie Monster Cookie! This, too, has a way of disappearing without a trace.
