Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chunks
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts (coarsely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the white chocolate chunks and chopped macadamia nuts into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop out 1.5 tablespoon-sized portions of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
