Based on a recipe for Lee Napoli’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 lb. butter — (2 sticks)
1c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
3/4 c. white granulated sugar
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
3 1/4 c. flour
1 t. salt
3/4 t. baking soda
1T. vanilla 1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts 1 (11 oz) package white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Pour into a large bowl. When the butter cools to slightly warm, add the light brown sugar, dark brown sugar and white sugar. Mix well. Beat in the eggs, yolks and vanilla. Add the flour, salt and baking soda, and combine well. Stir in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheets and bake until nicely browned, about 10-11 minutes. It’s always best to slightly under bake cookies so when they cool they remain chewy.
Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies.
