Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 175 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 50 grams Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 100 grams Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 50 grams Rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped crystallized ginger, macadamia nuts, and rolled oats.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
