Description

These white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are studded with chocolate chips and have a soft, chewy, and crunchy texture that's sure to please.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
3 Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until blended.
4 Fold macadamia nuts and white chocolate into dough until evenly distributed.
5 Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Gently press each dough ball down slightly to help cookies spread evenly during baking.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
