Ingredients
| 2 cups (240 g) | all-purpose flour |
| 1 teaspoon | baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon | cornstarch |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, or 180 g) | unsalted butter, softened to room temperature |
| 3/4 cup (170 g) | packed brown sugar |
| 1/4 cup (50 g) | granulated sugar |
| 1 | large egg, room temperature |
| 2 teaspoons (10 ml) | pure vanilla extract |
| 3/4 cup (125 g) | white chocolate chips |
| 3/4 cup (100 g) | chopped salted macadamia nuts |
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle, beat the butter on medium-high until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat on medium-high until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on high until combined, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. With the mixer on low, add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. The dough will be thick. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to 4 days). If chilling longer than 3 hours, let it sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before rolling because it will be quite hard.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Roll balls of dough, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, and place 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart on the sheets. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
