Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 9 ounce white chocolate with almonds, coarsely chopped

Instructions
Position two racks in top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. In large bowl, using a hand-held mixer set at medium speed, cream butter with the sugars for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce speed and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Using 1 Tbsp. dough, roll dough into a ball between the palms of your hands. Place the ball on the cookie sheet, leaving 1 inch between the cookies. Repeat for each cookie. With moistened palm, slightly flatten the cookies. Bake 9-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
