Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Fold in the Goodies: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

                Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy! Once cooled, indulge in your delicious, bakery-style white chocolate macadamia cookies. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
