• ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
• ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar
• ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Brown the butter
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling, until it foams and amber bits form (2–3 min). Transfer to a bowl; cool 10 min.
2. Make the dough
• Whisk brown butter with both sugars until glossy. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla.
• In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt; fold into wet mixture just until combined.
• Stir in white-chocolate chunks and macadamias. Cover and chill 30 min.
3. Bake
• Heat oven to 350 °F / 175 °C. Scoop 2-Tbsp mounds onto a parchment-lined sheet, spacing 2 in (5 cm).
• Bake 10–12 min until edges are golden and centers slightly under-baked. Cool on tray 5 min, then transfer to rack.
4. Enjoy warm or store airtight up to 4 days (they rarely last that long!).
