Perfect White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Description
Perfect White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies combine softened salted butter creamed with granulated and brown sugars until light and smooth. Vanilla and eggs enhance richness and flavor. The dry mix of all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt blends into the wet ingredients with minimal mixing to maintain tenderness. White chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts introduce sweetness and a nutty crunch. Baking at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes produces cookies with slightly crisp edges and soft centers.
The balance of creamy white chocolate and buttery nuts complements the classic cookie dough texture. These cookies work well as a sweet treat for gatherings or a casual snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, salted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with a handheld mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) until the mixture is well-combined.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until the mixture is creamy and light in color, 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt and soda and mix until just combined; a few streaks of flour remaining are ok.
- Add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and mix until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Roll tablespoon (or slightly larger) size balls of dough and place on silpat or parchment lined baking sheets, 1 to 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes.
