I love a warm, freshly baked cookie that just hits the spot. And when it comes to cookies, one of the classic flavor combinations is White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. Soft, tender, and loaded with flavor, these cookies are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
– 12 tablespoons butter (1.5 sticks) melted and cooled for 5 minutes– 1 cup brown sugar– ½ cup granulated sugar– 1 large egg– 1 egg yolk– 2 teaspoons vanilla– 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour– ½ teaspoon baking soda– ½ teaspoon salt– 1 cup white chocolate chips– 1 cup macadamia nuts
In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars together with an electric mixer (or stand mixer) on medium speed until smooth and light and fluffy in color, around 5 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half the flour, the salt and baking soda, and then the second half of the flour. Mix in the chips and nuts until incorporated.
Working with 1 large tablespoons of dough at a time, roll them into balls and place them on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or a baking mat) about 2 inches apart.
