White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are a delightfully crunchy treat filled with sweet white chocolate chips and buttery macadamia nuts. Light and chewy with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
