White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Cookies in a Jar
I love Cookies in a Jar recipes, especially when they involve white chocolate, macadamia nuts, and cranberries – my all-time favorite cookie recipe. My Dad’s wife, Ginny, recently blessed us with these delicious cookies, and now today I’m sharing the recipe with you!
It’s fun to give during the holiday months, so I pulled out my red stand mixer.
Together with my little neighbor girl, we whipped up a batch of Ginny’s cookies. Everyone loves cookies!
White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Cookies
In the beautiful stainless steel bowl, we combined all these beautiful ingredients (plus butter, eggs, and vanilla).
Mixed to perfection.
Baked on a sheet of parchment paper.
Love these cookies because you can eat right away, give away as a gift, or freeze for when company comes.
The perfect gift to give!
Make up extra jars. Don’t forget the instructions!
This is a fun idea for a hostess gift, or just a “because I am thinking of you” gift.
I also love it for school teachers, music teachers, coaches, Sunday School teachers, group leaders, and of course neighbors.

This is my go-to recipe. Everyone loves them.
I’ve made it gluten-free by
Substituting gluten free flour for the flour
Substituting 1/2 cup almond flour and 1/2 cup coconut flour for the 1 cup oats
Rolling it into a log before chilling as it’s easier to just slice
Chopping up Lindt white chocolate instead of using chocolate chips because the latter are often processed along with wheat etc.
It makes that rarity of gf cookies; a crisp cookie.
Keeps forever and both adults and children love them.
I sometimes ring the changes by adding orange zest and substituting dark chocolate and walnuts or pecans for white chocolate and macadamias, or leaving out chocolate, nuts and fruit altogether and inserting a thumbprint of cherry jam.
May you inspire many happy gatherings with these.
I even sometimes find one or two left that I can enjoy with a cup of tea.
I would share with my mom
