Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, beating until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Taste the dough and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more white chocolate chips.
  8. For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  9. If short on time, you can skip this step, but the cookies may spread more while baking.
  10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  11. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  15. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 months.
  16. To enjoy frozen cookies, let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough enhances flavor and helps maintain cookie shape.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of white chocolate chips based on your sweetness preference.
