Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 227kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup high-quality white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks*
- ¾ cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped*
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar, on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined and creamy, about 1 minute. Then add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until incorporated, about 30-60 seconds. Mix in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts just until well distributed. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop 2 tablespoon (45g) of cookie dough for each cookie and roll into even balls. Place 4 inches (10cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake one sheet at a time for 10-11 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and set and the center looks pale, underbaked, and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes until they are firm enough to move them. They continue baking on the baking sheets. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
