Description

Ingredients

2CupFlour (plus 2 tablespoons)
1TeaspoonCornstarch
1TeaspoonBaking Soda
1⁄2TeaspoonSalt
3⁄4CupUnsalted Butter (melted)
3⁄4CupDark Brown Sugar
3⁄4CupSugar
1 Egg
1 Egg Yolk
1 1⁄2TeaspoonVanilla Extract
1CupWhite Chocolate Chips
1CupMacadamia Nuts (chopped)

Instructions

1.Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
2.Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix everything together with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
3.Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
4.Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
5.Bake for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
