Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1 cup (2 sticks), softened
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar
- 3/4 cup, packed
- Egg
- 1 large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- White chocolate chips
- 1 cup
- Macadamia nuts
- 1 cup, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat well to incorporate. Stir in the vanilla extract to add an aromatic flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them maintain their chewy texture.
Tips
- For an added touch, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking to enhance the flavors.
- You can substitute half of the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
