Bake bakery-style white chocolate macadamia nut cookies at home. This simple recipe delivers thick, soft cookies with chewy centers and crisp edges, loaded with creamy white chocolate chips and crunchy macadamia nuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 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, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls slightly to flatten the tops.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are 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 cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter.
  • Press a few extra white chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a bakery-style look.
  • This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies.
