Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use fresh, high-quality butter for best flavor.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an ungreased baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter along with the brown and granulated sugars until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually blend the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the ungreased baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  2. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
