Make bakery-style white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that are soft, chewy, and rich. This perfected recipe delivers gourmet results easily.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 extra egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the whole egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls slightly.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy centers, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chunks instead of chips for a more decadent, bakery-style texture.
  • If you are looking for simple meal planning ideas for your week, consider how these treats fit into your schedule.
