Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, 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.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the chopped white chocolate and macadamia nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. For best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
8. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers should still be soft.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
