Ingredients Needed:

Ingredients for macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies

  • Butter ~ Softened to room temperature. Set the butter out the night before you plan to bake.
  • Brown Sugar ~ Makes the cookies soft and chewy in the middle with that delicious caramel taste.
  • Sugar ~ Adds sweetness and texture.
  • Eggs ~ Whole large eggs, room temperature – set them out with the butter.
  • Vanilla Extract~ Classic cookie flavor and it’s so easy to make your own!
  • All Purpose Flour ~ Measure the flour by scooping with a spoon into the measuring cup and level with a knife.
  • Baking Soda ~ Will make the cookies rise and be tender and delicious.
  • Kosher Salt ~ Balances the sweetness of the cookies.
  • Macadamia Nuts ~ I realized my nuts were raw, so I toasted them lightly before baking. Either will work fine. Chop coarsely. If you don’t have macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or pistachios are great options.
  • Milk Chocolate Chips ~ The milk chocolate goes great with the macadamia nuts and is a nice change from white chocolate. Use any chip flavor that you prefer.
