  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all- purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    Fold in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped macadamia nuts. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. 7

    Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  9. 9

    Remove the Cranberry White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
