How to Make Irresistible Rich Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream Together Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add one large egg and a splash of vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Mix until fully combined.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  • Fold in Chocolate & Nuts: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
  • Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Cool Slightly: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
