Macadamia and white chocolate Cookies

These cookies are creamy, sumptuous and will have you going back for seconds! The texture of these is probably my favourite part of them - silky creamy white chocolate mixed with the crunch of the macadamia nut - it's just yummy!

Ingredients:

250g white chocolate

100g macadamia nuts

80g caster sugar

80g brown sugar

150g salted butter, softened

1 egg

1/2 tsp bicarb of soda

1/4 tsp salt

225g flour

1tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Combine the two sugars in a bowl and stir together

Add the softened butter and cream together until working smoothly

Add in one egg and the vanilla extract and mix until wet combined

In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and bicarb of soda together until well combined

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture until well combined and smooth

On a chopping board, lightly chop the white chocolate and macadamia nuts into bitesize pieces

Add the nuts and chocolate to the cookie mixture and combine until the pieces are scattered evenly

Line a baking tray with baking paper 

Take tennis ball sized amounts of the mixture, roll into balls in your hand and place on the tray, leaving enough space for the cookies to expand.

Chill for 15 minutes

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200degrees Celsius

Place the baking tray of cookies in the centre of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown

Set aside to cool - enjoy!
