Feast Your Eyes!
First up, let’s take a moment to appreciate how scrumptious these cookies look. Just look at that golden-brown goodness!
Ingredients
Before we get our cookie game on, here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Now, roll up those sleeves and let’s get to the fun part—baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where the magic happens!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until everything is light and fluffy. You know it’s good when it has that dreamy look!
- Add in those lovely eggs and the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Don’t worry, it’s going to smell amazing!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Pro tip: Don’t over-mix unless you want tough cookies (and nobody wants that!).
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts. The more the merrier!
- Using a cookie scoop (or your hands if you’re feeling adventurous), drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Make them look pretty, people!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. They may look a little underbaked in the center, but trust the process! They’ll firm up as they cool!
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Try not to gobble them all up at once!
And voila! You have a batch of Soft and Chewy White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies that will have everyone coming back for seconds (or thirds)! Enjoy indulging in these chewy delights, and happy baking!
