Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula.
  6. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dough to an airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once cooled, place cookies in an airtight container, layering with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  14. Store at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use high-quality white chocolate chips.
  • Toasting the macadamia nuts before adding them to the dough can enhance their flavor.
