Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, approximately 5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate. Then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to wire cooling racks and let cool completely before serving.
Comments
Macadamia nuts are the catch here—they're not stocked at ALDI, Food Lion, or most Walmart locations in Charlotte, forcing a trip to Harris Teeter or Kroger, which adds real cost and time to a weeknight. The stated 45 minutes ignores chilling time, which most recipes need to prevent spread; budget an hour minimum or chill overnight. The cost per serving lands around 35–45 cents per cookie once you factor in premium nuts and white chocolate, reasonable for a treat but not a budget dessert. This is a make-ahead cookie that reheats fine and yields 48, so it suits batch baking for crowds or the freezer, but the ingredient sourcing requires planning.
