Calories: 165kcal
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, and beat together with a mixer (stand or hand-held) until combined and smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well until combined.
Scoop
Scoop about 1 - 1.5" tablespoons of dough, and roll in between your hands until it forms a ball. The balls of dough should be about 1 inch in diameter. Add to prepared baking sheet, about 1.5 inches apart (you'll have to bake the cookies in batches, as they all won't fit on one baking sheet).
** optional step for bakery-style cookies **
- This recipe should yield about 30 cookies, which you're free to divide up into as many servings as you'd like.
- In between batches, the dough should be kept cold to prevent spreading.
- If you'd like to use salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
