Ingredients Needed:
- Butter ~ Softened to room temperature. Set the butter out the night before you plan to bake.
- Brown Sugar ~ Makes the cookies soft and chewy in the middle with that delicious caramel taste.
- Sugar ~ Adds sweetness and texture.
- Eggs ~ Whole large eggs, room temperature – set them out with the butter.
- Vanilla Extract~ Classic cookie flavor and it’s so easy to make your own!
- All Purpose Flour ~ Measure the flour by scooping with a spoon into the measuring cup and level with a knife.
- Baking Soda ~ Will make the cookies rise and be tender and delicious.
- Kosher Salt ~ Balances the sweetness of the cookies.
- Macadamia Nuts ~ I realized my nuts were raw, so I toasted them lightly before baking. Either will work fine. Chop coarsely. If you don’t have macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or pistachios are great options.
- Milk Chocolate Chips ~ The milk chocolate goes great with the macadamia nuts and is a nice change from white chocolate. Use any chip flavor that you prefer.
How to Make Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Mix softened butter with sugars until well combined using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined.
- Next, add flour, baking soda and salt.
- Mix at low speed just until combined, raise to medium speed, mixing about 2 minutes.
- Add macadamia nuts and chocolate chips.
- Mix just until combined.
- Scoop onto lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, just until edges are browned, turning the cookie sheets about half way through baking. The middles will not be all the way done but that is what will make chewy centers.
- Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets five minutes.
- Move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
