Chocolate Chip Macadamia Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 2/3 cupPowdered Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2/3 Cup Macadamia Nuts chopped
  • 1 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Step 1

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and doubled in volume, about 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla, flour, and salt and mix until combined.

Add in the chopped macadamia nuts and chocolate chips and mix on low until incorporated.

Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press down slightly with the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup to flatten cookies.

Chill the dough on the baking sheets for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Bake the cookies for 12-16 minutes, until the edges just begin to turn golden. Let them cool completely on the sheets. Store in an airtight container.
