I did not have any issues with the batter being dry and crumbly. Are you beating your butter long enough? I have edited the directions on the recipe to reflect how long it takes to thoroughly cream butter. Hope this helps.Pattie @ Olla-Podridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347912758342365514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-25219635348508332942024-03-25T09:47:29.000-05:002024-03-25T09:47:29.000-05:00I found the mention of coconut, sorry guess I read...I found the mention of coconut, sorry guess I read too quickly.<br /><br />We made this last night and the resulting batter was very dry, crumbly, and difficult to form into balls. We plan to experiment adding more basic batter, ie., without choc chips and macadamia nuts, to make it more formable.<br /><br />Have you had this experience. Your article didn't discuss the consistency of the finished batter. Any recommendations you'd suggest?Jim's West Bend PopperyII Coffee Roasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754044079041441180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-40276357273720379082024-03-24T20:10:58.977-05:002024-03-24T20:10:58.977-05:00Okay, she says COCONUT was an ingedient but I sure...Okay, she says COCONUT was an ingedient but I sure don't see it listed in her recipe.

Its in there.<br /><br />The tree nut meal lists the nuts used- Almond, Cashew, Pecan, and Walnut. My guess would be start with equal mix of each, and simply grind into a meal in a grinder, and then use roughly about the same amount as the coconut- 1/4 cup. A close look at a cookie would say its not very visible at all so a good guess would make it a flavor ingredient comparable right on par to the coconut.tmicsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987025745993805630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-78430951969280097932020-06-14T15:38:33.788-05:002020-06-14T15:38:33.788-05:00Thank you I will try this recipe..

Thank you for this recipe, it's delicious. Funny how no one else who posted a copycat recipe for these cookies never thought to look at the ingredients on the bag!

Let's not get started in on the chocolate choices here though, as we CAN do better. But specifically these 2 are needed for the raw unadulterated dough to translate completely and perfectly over to the <b>Tahoe variety</b> (white chocolate/macadamia). What you need is <b>molasses and tree nut meal</b>. On how much needed, recipe alterations and accommodations, and the like... That is going to remain my secret. Discerning bakers will get the jist of about how much on each additional recipe item and how to make the nut meal. It is important to note that these 2 ingredients are also on the back of the packaging as well as the coconut. Bravo though... As this is the ONLY recipe to nail this sublime treat. Until mine that is. Cheers!
