Ingredients
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (260 g) white chocolate chunks or chips
1 cup (150 g) macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined.
5. Fold in white chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
8. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Toast macadamia nuts lightly for deeper flavor.
Substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if desired.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist.
Use mini chocolate chips for smaller bites.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
