Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee chips
- 3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with Silpat baking mats or parchment paper, ensuring you have enough for 36 cookies. If available, prepare two sets of baking sheets with Silpats for even baking.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2 minutes.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs and pure vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in the electric mixer bowl. Mix until just combined. Then, gently fold in the toffee chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Portion Dough: Using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, scoop out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Ensure each cookie is placed about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Flatten Cookies: With the palm of your hand, gently flatten each cookie slightly to your desired thickness.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies until they turn golden brown and are just set, approximately 15 minutes. For optimal results, rotate the sheets between the oven racks halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
-
Cool: Once baked, transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes.
-
Transfer and Store: Carefully transfer the cookies from the baking sheets to the wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 1 week.
