How to Make Dark Chocolate And Macadmia Pieces Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ½ cup vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups dark chocolate chunks and 1 cup macadamia nuts.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
