Ingredients (serves 12):

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is softened before mixing it with the sugars. This will ensure a smooth and creamy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour mixture. Overmixing can result in tough and dry cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized cookies.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
7. Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
