White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Prep Time 1 hour 10 minutes / Cook Time 8 minutes / Total Time 1 hour 18 minutes
Servings 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt (I use a whisk), and set aside.
-
Cream the butter and sugars together with electric mixer. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mix well until just combined.
-
Add the flour mixture in batches, mixing to combine in between each batch, until all the flour is incorporated.
-
Stir in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for about an hour.
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
-
Press a few more white chocolate chips and macadamia nut pieces onto the tops for extra flavor and presentation.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges just ever so slightly browned. The centers of the cookies will look very soft and a little puffy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few seconds, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
