Small Batch White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

These small batch white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are my #1 dream cookie. Like, I could eat them every single day. They have creamy white chocolate chips, toasty macadamia nuts, and brown sugar for a hint of caramel flavor. And this recipe makes just 6 perfectly-thick and chewy cookies. They're the best!

Ingredients

60 grams - unsalted butter
52 grams - brown sugar
25 grams - granulated sugar
1 - egg yolk
1 tsp - pure vanilla extract
60 grams - all purpose flour
10 grams - cornstarch
¼ tsp - baking soda
¼ tsp - Kosher salt
50 grams - white chocolate chips
35 grams - macadamia nuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside for later.
Combine the cooled, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture is light and thick, about 1-2 minutes. Then, whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the dough is about 90% combined. Then, add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and continue folding the dough just until everything is well-mixed and there are no more streaks of flour. Don't over-mix the dough!
Using a #20 cookie scoop (~3 tablespoons), divide the dough into 6 balls. Line the cookie dough balls on the prepared sheet pan about 3 inches apart. Freeze the cookie dough balls for about 15 minutes, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until the dough is well-chilled.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, flipping the pan halfway through, until the edges are set and the centers are still a bit under-done. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet pan and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
