Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (115g) coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centres should still be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
