Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup lightly toasted macadamia nuts, chopped
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a sheet with baking paper.

In a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Scrape down the bowl and beat until everything is well-mixed.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and add in the macadamia nuts, cranberries and oats. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the ingredients until everything comes together.

Using a medium-sized tablespoon, drop and scrape the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets into rounded balls about 2 inches apart each. Bake at 180°C for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown, but the inside of the cookie is still doughy–it will continue to bake as it cools!
