Buttery, chewy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies with crisp edges and a rich, nutty crunch. Easy to make and perfect for gifting, bake sales, or everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 cup roasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent spreading and deepens flavor.
  • Top with a pinch of sea salt before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Freeze dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.
