Ingredients

  • 1 cup (222g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (246g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cup (343g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (400g) chopped macadamia nuts
  • 2 cups (240g) chopped white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (117° C).
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth, light in color and fluffy. This will take a few mintues.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the egg add vanilla.
  • Once completely combined, stop the mixer and add in the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Start mixing slowly, once the flour mixture is about half way incorporated into the dough, pour the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts into the mixer and allow everything to mix together.
  • Measure out the dough depending on the size of cookie you'd like. For small cookies, use 1 1/2 tbsp of dough. For medium sized cookies, use 3 tbsp of dough. For large cookies, use 1/3 cup of dough.
  • Roll the dough into a ball, break the ball in half and then push the two halves together, leaving the jagged edges up for texture. This is optional, but something I like to do.
  • Bake at 350° F (117° C) until the cookie dough has spread and the edges are turning golden brown- for small cookies, bake for 8-10 minutes, for medium cookies bake for 9-11 minutes, for large cookies bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • If needed, immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, use the back of a metal spoon and push the edges of the cookie towards the center, creating a perfect circle.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*The cookies will continue to bake on the hot pan, so it is okay if the center of the cookies still look slightly underbaked when you take them out of the oven.
