Ingredients 

  • 3/4 cup 170 g butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup 56 g canola oil
  • 1 cup 220 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup 220 g granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups 375 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups 300 g white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup 128 g macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the softened butter and oil into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the two sugars and beat on low speed until light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture. Beat well to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until a dough forms.
  • Finally, add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Mix on low until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to drop 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized dough balls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart (no more than 8 cookies per tray).
  • Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 11-12 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • *This recipe makes about 48 cookies, but can be easily halved to make 24 cookies.
  • Store: Store your cookies covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze: You can freeze baked cookies or unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.
  • Make ahead: To make cookies in advance, prepare the cookie dough balls and freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once completely frozen, pack the cookie dough balls into an airtight container or freezer bar to freeze up to 3 months. Once you are ready to bake, remove the frozen cookie dough from the freezer and bake at 350ºF. Add 2-3 minutes to your baking time.
