- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 1-1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, halved or quartered
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the flour with salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, sugar, and butter until they are well combined and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk again for a couple of minutes until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the macadamia nuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies. For a more pronounced nutty flavor, you can skip the chocolate chips and let the macadamia nuts shine. Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
