Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light 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 bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough (a heaping spoonful) and roll into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft, which helps keep the cookies chewy.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
