A recipe & review in collaboration with Nuts Pick.
There’s something very therapeutic about baking cookies. They’re so easy to make and one can contentedly potter about the kitchen while each batch bakes, filling the house with the delicious aroma of freshly baked cookies.
We’ve got our regular family favourites: oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip and my own personal favourite, old-fashioned soft molasses cookies, but I do love experimenting with new flavours. When a parcel of dried fruit and nuts arrived the other day from Nuts Picks, I was immediately inspired to bake some roasted macadamia nut, mango and white chocolate cookies.
I started with a standard condensed milk cookie base as this gives cookies a lovely chewy centre and crunchy outer. Plus, it’s really easy to make.
NUTS PICK – MACADAMIA NUTS AND MORE!
Nuts Pick are a west-London based company that provide freshly roasted nuts and dried fruits to customers. They freshly roast their handpicked nuts within 24 hours of you placing an order to ensure you get a fresh and delicious snack delivered straight to your door. Most of their products receive 5-star reviews from happy customers, and their range includes raw, salted, smoked and honey glazed nuts (almonds, macadamias, hazelnuts, etc.) as well as seasonal chocolate and yoghurt covered ones. Their dried fruit range includes dried mango strips (which I chopped finely to include in my recipe), apricots, strawberries, pineapple figs and Medjool dates.
Their nuts, roasted 24 hours before shipment, are packaged in stand-up resealable foil pouches which means they’ll keep their freshness for longer at home. I really like this packaging as I find nuts packed in thin plastic bags tend to go stale quite quickly.
I was sent a selection of roasted nuts – unsalted whole macadamia nuts, roasted salted pistachios, honey roasted almond, honey roasted cashew and the dried mango slices. As far as the nuts go they’re pretty awesome – they taste fresh with just the right amount of roasting and seasoning. The mango slices are still semi-soft too so they’re perfect for snacking or using in your baking, like this cookie recipe.
Prices for their roasted nuts start from £3.50 for a 250-gram bag, with free delivery in the UK on orders over £12. If you’re a nut fan, do check them out! You can also find them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Meanwhile, here’s my rather delicious roasted macadamia, mango and white chocolate cookie recipe.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C/ 160 C fan/ gas mark 4 and line a baking sheet with baking paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the condensed milk and vanilla and cream together until well incorporated.
- Using a wooden spoon, add the flour to form a soft dough.

Lazy Sunday Morning Scrambled Eggs with Beech & Oak Smoked Scottish Salmon & Roasted Tomatoes
Brilliant as a general biscuit recipe, biscuits last long are crunchy and light.
I made this last weekend and followed the recipe to the last gram. However my cookie did not spread. i needed to flatten the cookies manually. What do you think is wrong?
Sometimes I find the baking surface contributes to the spread of a cookie – did you grease the baking tray, use baking paper or a silicone mat?
I used a silicone mat to bake.
Ah, that’ll be it. Silicone mats seem to stop cookies from spreading. While this can come in handy sometimes, for some recipes it’s a bit of a pain. Try using just a greased baking tray next time, or baking paper instead. 🙂
The combination of flavours sounds delicious – Will certainly be making these beauts
This cookie took my breath away. It was so good. The macadamia, mango and white combination was perfect. I could eat this forever. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. This is now my favorite.

They’re really super easy to make too – you could have a batch of freshly baked cookies ready in under half an hour! 😉
I love the idea of adding the nuts: extra crunch and flavour, but it would make me feel quite virtuous too.
They do add a lovely texture to the cookie, I agree, and you’re right, they’re good for you too so these could be considered a health food maybe? lol! 😀
These look so good. I adore macadamia nuts and cookies are just perfect for them. Thanks a lot, Mich x
Thanks, Michelle 🙂 Macadamia nuts are not something I have ever really baked a lot with, so it’s nice to try something new.
