Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix.
  • Stir in the white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and dried cranberries.
  • Form the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.
  • Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Check early to make sure you don’t over bake.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. While the cookies are still warm, you can gently press extra white chocolate chips, nuts, and dried cranberries on top to make them extra pretty. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
