Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use a stand mixer, hand mixer, or whisk for this step.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently stir in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Let the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra soft white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, add a slice of bread to the airtight storage container.
- For a bakery-style look, gently press a few extra white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts onto the tops of the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven.
- Chilling the white chocolate macadamia cookie dough for at least 30 minutes can lead to thicker, chewier cookies and prevent them from spreading too much.
- For uniform white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, use a cookie scoop.
