Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a handheld or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
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 ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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 golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
