Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
- 100 grams macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Step 4
Add the egg, key lime juice, key lime zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a spatula, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
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
Enjoy your Tropical Key Lime White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies with a refreshing drink or as a sweet treat anytime!
