Deliciously rich and buttery white chocolate macadamia nut cookies featuring a tender, chewy texture with crisp edges, perfect for a sweet treat or dessert.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender cookie.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Add Chips and Nuts: Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, preserving their shape and texture.

Notes

  • Substitute macadamia nuts with pecans or walnuts if desired.
  • To enhance flavor, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain freshness.
  • For a richer cookie, use unsalted butter and add a pinch of extra salt if preferred.
