Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 280 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams white chocolate chips
- 120 grams macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter fully and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
