White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
9. Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
