Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 100 grams Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and dried cranberries with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake each tray in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Macadamia Butter Cookies with Dried Cranberries! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
