This is my version of one of my favorite cookie recipes from ATK. They combine my favorite - chocolate and macadamia nuts. :)
Yields ~30 generous size cookies
INGREDIENTS
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons AP flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup macadamia nuts (I like them whole; rough chop is an option...it's up to you...it's your cookie!)
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Move oven rack to lower middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat
Step 2: In medium size bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt
Step 3: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix butter and sugars until well combined and no lumps large lumps of sugar are visible
Step 4: Add eggs, one at at time, ensure each egg is mixed in well before adding the next egg
Step 5: Add vanilla and mix until combined
Step 6: Remove bowl from mixer, and add in chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Combine by hand. Ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, especially any wet ingredients that may have settled at the bottom of the mixing bowl
Step 7: Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place each cookie dough ball 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet
Step 8: Bake cookies for 14 minutes (rotating halfway through) or until edges of the cookie are set and lightly browned.
Step 9: Remove from oven. Leaving cookies on the cookie sheet let cool for 5 mins. Using a spatula, gently move each cookie from the baking sheet to the cooling rack.
