Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen
These are rich, sweet, nutty cookies packed with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Browning the butter gives these cookies chewy buttery centers along with nice crisp edges.

If you aren’t a fan of white chocolate, use your favorite chocolate instead. If you love white chocolate, the combination of macadamia nuts and sweet vanilla can’t be beat.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Total Time: 24 minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • cups all-purpose flour *
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

* Gluten-Free Alternative

  • ½ cups brown rice flour
  • 1 cup tapioca starch
  • cup potato starch

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the butter and both sugars in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
  • Add the eggs and beat until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat to combine.
  • Stir in the chocolate and the nuts. Line a baking sheet with parchment and then use a medium size scoop (about 2 tablespoon size) to place dough onto the baking sheet. Roll into balls with your hands.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes and remove from the oven when the cookies are just barely browned at the edges. They should be slightly puffed, but still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
