Description

Indulge in the perfect balance of buttery macadamia nuts and velvety white chocolate with these exquisitely textured cookies. Featuring a soft, chewy center and a subtle hint of sea salt, they offer a sophisticated twist on a classic bakery favorite.


Ingredients

  • 125g Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 175g Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 275g Plain Flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 150g Macadamia Nuts, roughly chopped
  • 150g White Chocolate Chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC Fan (200ºC regular) and line baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and light brown sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Sift in the flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, and sea salt, then mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop 5cm balls of dough onto the trays, leaving space for spreading, and bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Allow cookies to rest on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature to create a smooth, stable emulsion. If you prefer a thicker, less-spread cookie, chill the prepared dough balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before placing them in the oven.
