Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl: flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips and butter. Whisk just until ingredients are melted and be careful to watch so chocolate doesn't burn. Careful not to turn the heat too high because the butter and white chocolate can separate. Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla and set aside to cool.
  3. Using a stand-mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs and sugars for 3-4 minutes or until thick and pale in color.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the cooled chocolate/butter mixture until well combined. (White chocolate/butter mixture doesn’t have to be completely cooled, just so it’s not super hot). 
  5. Add in the flour mixture and fold just until combined.
  6. Stir in remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Try to avoid over-mixing. (Pro tip: pulse macadamia nuts in the food processor to chop them!)
  7. Chill cookie dough in fridge for at least 10 minutes so batter can thicken and look more like cookie dough. (Chilling the dough will also help the cookies bake up thicker & help prevent spreading). Preheat oven to 350°F while dough chills.
  8. Scoop batter using a 2 tbsp. cookie scoop so cookies come out even in size and place on a baking sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look puffy right when you pull them out of the oven.
  9. Swirl a cup around cookies if needed to make perfect circles. Garnish with more white chocolate chips on top while they are still warm. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Finish with flaky sea salt and enjoy!

Notes

  • Short term: these cookies will last up to 5 days properly stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can stack them with sheets of parchment paper in between to prevent sticking. Be sure cookies are completely cool before storing to prevent condensation that can make them soggy.
  • Freezing: cool completely, store in an airtight container, and write the date on the container so you know when you froze them. These will keep well for up to 3 months!
