Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the mix-ins: Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form the cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy your freshly baked Macadamia Nut Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
