Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 ounces chopped white chocolate
- 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- Course sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In bowl of stand mixer using paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes on medium high. Add egg and mix just until incorporated. Add vanilla, mixing just until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gently combine the flour mixture with the butter/sugar mixture until the flour is just mixed in.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
- Refrigerate for at least a half hour, or at most 3 days. Make golfball sized balls and flatten a bit, or use a medium sized cookie dough scoop. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or just until bottoms of cookies are light golden brown. Cookies may seem soft and underdone, but they will set upon cooling.
- Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet and use flat spatula to transfer them onto cooling rack.
