Instructions

Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for smooth creaming.

Add Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Pro tip: Do not overmix; this can make the cookies tough.

Fold in Chocolate and Nuts

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts with a spatula.

Pro tip: Ensure even distribution of nuts and chocolate for consistent cookies.

Chill the Dough

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Pro tip: Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Cool the Cookies

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
