Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, 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 medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture, a little at a time, until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls (a cookie scoop works well for uniformity) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie 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 look slightly underdone, which is fine as they will continue to set while cooling.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks 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.
