I always love the combination of chocolate and macadamia nuts, so these cookies are definitely one of my favorites. The crispy edges and chewy middles are just perfect. And the creamy milk chocolate filling is really delicious too.

Ingredients Needed for Sausalito Cookies:

  • butter
  • sugar
  • brown sugar
  • flour
  • baking soda
  • vanilla
  • eggs
  • high quality milk chocolate chips
  • macadamia nuts
butter sugar brown sugar flour baking soda vanilla eggs semi-sweet chocolate chips

Recipe Notes & Tips

  • It’s really important to measure the flour with the “scoop and sweep” method. Otherwise you WILL have too much flour in the cookies and they WILL be too dense (trust me, I know ????). Simply scoop out the flour in a measuring cup, but instead of pressing it to the side of the container to flatten it out in the cup, sweep the excess flour off the top and level it out by scraping a knife across the measuring cup.
  • I highly recommend using the highest quality milk chocolate you can find for these cookies. I especially love Guittard milk chocolate chips (I find them most often at Sam’s, Target, and World Market).

Sausalito Cookie FAQs

What is the difference between a Sausalito cookie and a regular chocolate chip cookie?

The biggest difference is that Sausalito cookies are made with milk chocolate, while most chocolate chip cookies are made with semi-sweet or dark chocolate. They also usually have macadamia nuts in them, which gives them a unique flavor.

Can I use a different type of chocolate in these cookies?

Yes, you can! If you don’t like milk chocolate, you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead. You could also use white chocolate chips, but the flavor will be quite different.

Can I omit the nuts if I don’t like them?

A: Yes, you can omit the nuts if you don’t like them. The cookies will be a bit less flavorful without them, but they will still taste good.

Why are my cookies coming out flat?

There are several possible reasons why your cookies might come out flat. One possibility is that you are using too much flour. Another possibility is that your oven is not calibrated correctly, and it’s baking the cookies too long or at too high of a temperature. Make sure to measure the flour with the “scoop and sweep” method, and calibrate your oven if necessary.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these cookies. They will keep for about two months in the freezer. Just make sure to let them thaw completely before serving.

Enjoy! 🙂
