Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 0.75 cup of granulated sugar, and 0.75 cup of packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in 1 large egg and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped macadamia nuts and 1 cup of white chocolate chips.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough room for the cookies to spread slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
