Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 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 semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
