Equipment

  • a mixer
  • baking sheets
  • silicone mats or parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed (light or dark sugar can be used)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cups macadamia nut pieces
  • 1 ½ cups premium white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the butter, both sugars, and vanilla. Beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour mixture a few tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Mix in the macadamia nuts and the white chocolate chips, and mix on low speed to combine.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, place about 2 tablespoons of batter on the cookie sheets, spacing the batter 3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 13 minutes. After 6 minutes, rotate the cookie sheets and switch the upper and lower cookie sheets to promote even browning.
  • When done, these cookies will be a rich caramel brown color and very crispy. If they are not brown after 13 minutes, let them cook a little longer, checking after every additional minute.

Notes

Crispy Cookies

For maximum crispiness, be sure to cook these cookies until they are a rich caramel brown. If undercooked and lightly browned, they will not be as crispy in the middle and will have two different textures: crispy on the outer edges and softer in the middle.
