Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Rubber spatula
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step creates the base for soft cookies.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for that warm, sweet aroma.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.
Step 6: Fold in Chocolate and Nuts
- Gently fold in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts. This is where the cookie dough becomes irresistible.
Step 7: Scoop the Dough
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Step 8: Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
Step 9: Cool
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for better texture
- Don’t overbake—soft centers are key
- Chill the dough for thicker cookies if needed
- Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor
- Toast macadamia nuts for extra depth
