1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Equipment

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar to a a large mixing bowl, and use a hand mixer to cream them together until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, then continue to mix until combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In another medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix well.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamy mixture and combine with a fork.
Once everything is well combined, fold in the white baking morsels and macadamia nuts.
Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper, then evenly distribute tablespoon sized cookie dough balls onto the cookie sheets.
Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, or until they're just starting to brown (a couple minutes longer for a crisp cookie and a couple minutes shorter for a soft cookie).
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
