How to Make White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven.
  2. Chop 1 cup macadamia nuts into smaller chunks.
  3. Chop 4 ounces white chocolate almond bark into chunks.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chunks.
  10. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  11. Bake on the lower rack for 10 minutes.
  12. Move baking sheets to the upper rack and bake for 1-3 minutes more, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Allow baking sheets to cool completely before baking another batch. If dough becomes too warm, chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
