Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons 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 golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the macadamia cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
