How to Make White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

In a large bowl, whisk in the flour, baking soda, and salt to combine. Place it aside.

Add in the butter and sugars, along with the egg and egg yolk, with milk and vanilla, and whisk in to combine.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients.

Add in the chocolate chips and nuts to that batter and fold to combine.

Place plastic wrap to cover the dough and place in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight for the best results.

If you decide to chill for longer than 2 hours, be sure to let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking because if not the dough batter will become hard.

Set your oven to 350 degrees and use silicone baking mats to line to baking sheets. Set aside.

Use a tablespoon to gather about 1.5 scoops of dough and begin rolling and arranging onto the prepared pans about 3 inches from each other.

Place the dough balls into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies become a golden brown. The middle of the cookies will appear a bit soft.

Take out of the oven and let the cookies sit for about 4-5 minutes on the sheets to cool before placing them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
