  • Take the flour,baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix with a whisk.
  • Take the soft butter in a bowl and beat with a whisk or hand blender for 2 minutes.
  • Now add both the sugars and beat till the mixture turns light and fluffy.
  • Add the milk and vanilla essence and beat once to combine.
  • Add the flour,chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts and mix with a spatula.The mixture will be slightly sticky.Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180 ยบ C.Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Make equal sized balls of the dough and place them on the tray and flatten them slightly.
  • Bake till the sides turn light golden in colour for about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Take the tray out of the oven and leave the cookies in the tray for 5 minutes(the cookies will be soft so don't take them out of the tray immediately).Allow the cookies to cool completely in a cooling rack and store in an airtight container.
Note:
  • I have used mini chocolate chips in this recipe but you can use the regular sized chips or chocolate chunks.
  • For soft chewy cookies bake them for 12 minutes.The cookies will be very soft while taking out but gets the right texture after cooling down.
  • For crispy cookies bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The exact timing depends on your oven.
