Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the creamed butter mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your biscuits remain tender.
- Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate pieces until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly from residual heat after you remove them from the oven.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container. Enjoy them with a glass of milk, coffee, or simply as a delightful treat on their own.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before mixing. Softened butter helps to achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
- When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to avoid overpacking and ensure accurate measurement, providing a perfect texture.
- Toasting macadamia nuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and to develop deeper flavors.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized biscuits, ensuring even baking.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits during the final minutes of baking as ovens can vary. Remove them when they are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a batch of delectable chocolate macadamia biscuits that will impress your friends and family. The combination of creamy white chocolate and crunchy macadamia nuts makes for a truly irresistible treat. Enjoy these biscuits fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence. Happy baking!
