Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 175 g light brown sugar
- 1 large/medium egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 275 g plain flour
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 150 g white chocolate chips
- 150 g macadamia nuts (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180ºC fan or 200ºC regular and line two to three baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Beat them together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and optional vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined, adding richness and flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add plain flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, and sea salt to the wet ingredients. Beat the mixture until a cookie dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts evenly into the dough, distributing the mix-ins thoroughly for consistent flavor and texture in each cookie.
- Portion the Dough: Using a 5cm scoop, place cookie dough balls on the lined trays. Limit to a maximum of six cookies per tray to allow space for spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until they are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove trays from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your freshly baked, delicious white chocolate macadamia cookies!
