Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch together.
  • In a large bowl mix butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until combined. Add in egg and egg yolk and mix until combined. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add in the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
  • Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. If chilling for more then 2 hours, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to slightly soften the dough before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough into 1 or 1.5 inch sized balls, and arrange on the cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are just lightly browned on the sides.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

Notes

  1. Chill the cookie dough - I know! You want to bake these NOW. These would spread too much if you baked them right away though. The dough needs time to rest and firm up a bit in the fridge.
  2. Bake one tray at a time - It's better to allow the heat to concentrate on one tray at a time to bake the cookies perfectly.
  3. Try using salted or unsalted macadamia nuts - Either would work for this cookie.
