Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips

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, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, beating until combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of cookie 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 lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to 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, or freeze for longer storage.
