Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
  • Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts evenly.
  6. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for cookies to spread.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  8. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for the best texture.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center.
  • Macadamia nuts can be replaced with pecans or walnuts if preferred.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
