Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- Zest from one lime
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and smooth.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until well combined.
- Stir in the flour, salt and baking soda and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overstir the batter. Once you add the flour you want to stir as little as possible.
- Add the white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts and lime zest and mix until combined.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes to a couple of hours OR I have found if I store my chocolate chips in the freezer they instantly chill the dough when added.
- Drop by rounded spoonfuls (about a Tablespoon or a little bigger) onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silat about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. If you like softer cookies remove from the oven when the edges start to turn golden. If you like them crispier leave in for longer.
