Masterpiece White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Servings 22
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened (114 grams)
- ½ cup packed brown sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon Bailey's Irish Cream or non-dairy creamer
- 1 ½ cups MINUS 3 T. AP flour (175 grams)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (24 grams)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt ¾ teaspoon if using unsalted macadamia nuts
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts lightly toasted before chopping
- 1 cup white chips (or chopped white chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars. Beat in egg, vanilla and Irish Cream.
- Stir together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in nuts and white chocolate (or chips).
- At this point you can scoop the dough immediately or scoop out balls, put on a plate, cover and chill. Chilling the dough will give you thicker, rounder, cookies.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment or nonstick foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Notes
If you prefer, you can omit the all-purpose flour and cornstarch and use 1 ½ cups (180 grams) unsifted cake flour.
