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
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 8 Ounces (oz) white chocolate, divided
• 6.5 Ounces (oz) macadamia nuts, divided

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to ensure it's ready for baking.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect cookie texture.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
5. Gently fold in the divided white chocolate and macadamia nuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
6. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on wire racks. Once completely cool, store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
