Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Step 3
Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the egg, then beat in the egg yolk, then beat in the vanilla.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just moistened. Stir in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips by hand with a rubber spatula.
Step 5
Roll into balls or drop by heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets, and press down on the cookies with your palm a bit to flatten (not too much!).
Step 6
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown and the middles don’t look quite set. Allow to finish cooling on the baking sheet.

Chef's notes
The cookies are slightly crisp on the outside with a soft and chewy interior, full of chunks of macadamia nuts and white chocolate.
