Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) butter, softened
• 0.75 Cups (cup) white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1.25 Cups (cup) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 8 Ounces (oz) white chocolate, minced
• 6.5 Ounces (oz) macadamia nuts, minced

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the minced white chocolate and macadamia nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
