Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 2 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 (coarsely chopped) macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly combine.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still appear slightly underbaked. The cookies will finish setting as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
