Ingredients
- 3 cups (381 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
- 1 cup (200 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at cool room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups (210 grams) chopped macadamia nuts, unsalted*
Instructions
- If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the white chocolate chips and nuts with a rubber spatula.
- If time permits, wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours but no more than 72 hours. Let dough sit at room temperature until it is just soft enough to scoop.
- Using a large (3-tablespoon) spring-loaded scoop, drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 1⁄2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
- *I typically use unsalted macadamia nuts (available online here), but if you can only find salted macadamias, feel free to use those - just note that your cookies will have a distinctly ‘salty-sweet’ flavor.
