Soft Chewy White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer affixed with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes (or use a large bowl and a hand mixer).
• Add the brown sugar and granulated (white) sugar and continue beating on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, continuing to beat each time until well-incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
• With the mixer on low speed, carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. Stir in the white chocolate chunks and the macadamia nuts.
• Scoop a generous tablespoonful of the dough (I use this cookie dough scoop) and roll into a ball. Tear the ball in half, turn each half a quarter turn, and smoosh the dough back together with the torn side now at the top of the cookie. Gently shape so that the dough ball is taller than it is wide and place on cookie sheet about three inches apart.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until edges of cookie begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes on cookie sheet so the cookie can set. Carefully move to wire rack to cool completely.
• Cookies stay fresh when kept in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 - 4 days, or can be frozen for up to two months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, mix the flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add the vanilla and eggs and continue processing until creamy. Add the white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
• Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), place balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
• Bake until light brown with set edges but still soft in the center, about 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Do NOT over bake these cookies.
• Cool on the baking sheets about 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. Store in airtight container or plastic bag to stay soft and moist.
