Categories     Cookies

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups + 2 Tablespoons (265g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks or 170g) unsalted butter, melted + slightly cooled
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 heaping cup (210g) white chocolate chips*
1 cup (120g) roughly chopped macadamia nuts*

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix everything together with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. (You can use a mixer for this step if needed.)
  • Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1-1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
10 ounces good-quality white chocolate, roughly chopped
1/3 cup good-quality white chocolate chunks

Drop large scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake more evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper: This will help the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help them set and prevent them from sticking together.
