Ingredients

2¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
1½ cups macadamia nut pieces see notes
4 ounces white chocolate coarsely chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 180℃) and line a rimmed sheet pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer add the two sticks of butter along with the light brown and granulated sugars. Blend at medium speed until combined.
Scrape down the sides and then add in the two teaspoons of vanilla and the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
With the mixer on low, gradually add in the dry ingredients until all of it is thoroughly incorporated.
Lastly add in the roasted macadamia nut pieces and the chopped white chocolate. Mix on low until they are evenly throughout the cookie dough. Be careful not to over-mix.
Working in batches, use a 1½ to 2-tablespoon scoop to measure out the cookie dough. Place them a few inches apart onto your prepared pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just slightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

NOTE:

I like to toast chopped macadamia nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until lightly golden and fragrant.
