Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- 1 cup Macadamia Nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.
- Let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1-2 hours before cutting into squares or rectangles.

Keywords: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. Toasting the macadamia nuts enhances their flavor. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars tender and chewy.
