  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
