Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, blend the light brown sugar and white sugar on medium speed. Add the softened butter and continue mixing until the mixture forms a grainy paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating at medium speed until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be sure to check around the 10-minute mark to avoid over-baking.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serving Tips:
- These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a party, or just a cozy snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
- Serve them fresh out of the oven for a warm, gooey treat, or allow them to cool for a crispy bite.
- For an extra indulgent treat, you can pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle some caramel sauce on top.
Storage Tips:
- To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft and chewy for about 3-4 days.
- If you want to keep them for a longer period, store them in the freezer. Simply place the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will last up to 3 months.
- For best results, separate layers of cookies with parchment paper when storing in a container, to prevent them from sticking together.
