Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl combine butter and sugars and mix until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon zest and mix until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips and half of the macadamia nuts.
- Cover dough and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350. Roll dough into balls (use about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie ball) and space at least 4 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly golden browned. Remove from oven and immediately add the other half of the nuts to the top of the cookies - just gently poke them into the tops of the cookies.
- Allow to cool 1-2 minute then gently remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a clear surface. Top with grated lemon zest if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to a week.
