White Chocolate-Macadamia Nut Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 2-1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped chunk white chocolate (or 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. When butter has cooled slightly, place it in bowl of electric mixer. Add sugars and mix to combine. Mix in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients and blend. Fold in chocolate and macadamias. Dough will feel heavy and a little sticky.
  2. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop or your hands, form into 2 dozen balls. Place dough balls on a rimmed baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until dough firms up.
  3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place dough balls on 2 cookie sheets, 1 dozen on each. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies stand on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.
