Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Brown the butter: melt in a light-colored skillet over medium heat 5–7 minutes, swirling until deep golden with nutty smell and brown flecks. Pour into a bowl (scrape the bits) and cool 15 minutes until warm, not hot.

  2. 2

    Whisk brown butter with both sugars until sandy-smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.

  3. 3

    Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together; fold into the butter mixture just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in white chocolate and macadamias. Chill dough 30 minutes (firmer scoops, thicker cookies).

  4. 4

    Heat oven to 350°F. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto parchment-lined sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are set and golden and centers still look soft. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
