Ingredients
1 c. unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)
1 c. unbleached granulated sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, room temperature
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
3 c. unbleached white flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 c. white chocolate chips
1 1/2 c. Macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1. If you are making this batch in winter, you might find that waiting for the butter to soften is an exercise in Zen cooking; you could melt the butter in a small saucepan and let the butter cool to room temperature before mixing it with the sugar. Cream butter and sugars together in a mixing bowl.
2. Add an egg, one at a time, and beat well. Add vanilla extract and beat again until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, add flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until the flour is incorporated. Add white chocolate chips and nuts to mixture and mix until ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
7. Cool on a wire rack before gifting or serving.
