Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Place softened butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. (Or you could use a hand mixer as well.) Beat on medium speed until butter and sugar is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla. Beat until thoroughly combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
Scoop dough by the heaping tablespoon and place on a prepared baking sheet (use either parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet), about 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are lightly browned around the edges- about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a baking rack to cool completely.
