Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 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 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer 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 later enjoyment.
