Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Unsalted macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delectable low sodium macadamia cookies!
