White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies Recipe
June 21, 2017
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 a mixer (stand or hand-held). Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and 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.
RECIPE NOTES
** if you use salted butter, omit the 1/4 tsp of salt from the recipe.
** dough should be kept cold between batches.
** dough can be chilled for up to 5 days.
