White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
1 1/2 to 2 cups white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla with a mixer until creamy.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just mixed.

Stir in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips by hand.

Drop by the spoonful onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 4-5 minutes so the cookies can set before moving to a rack.
