Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda (low sodium or sodium-free)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup White chocolate chips (low sodium or no added sodium)
- 0.75 cup Unsalted 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 brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, low-sodium baking soda, and cornstarch.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Step 6
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped unsalted macadamia nuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoons of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your low sodium white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, preferably with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
