Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough (a heaping spoonful) and roll into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft, which helps keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
