There is something truly special about the combination of creamy white chocolate and crunchy macadamia nuts. These cookies turn out soft and thick every single time, making them a favorite for anyone who loves a bakery style treat at home.

I find that slightly underbaking them keeps the centers perfectly soft. Make sure your butter is at room temperature so the dough comes together smoothly without any extra effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. 5

    Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Fold in the white chocolate chips and the chopped macadamia nuts by hand.

  7. 7

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for spreading.

  8. 8

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft.

  9. 9

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft for up to 5 days. If you prefer, you can freeze the dough balls before baking and just add a minute or two to the cooking time when you are ready for a treat.
