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.

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.
