Step 1

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugars and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined.

Step 3

Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix on a low speed until a soft cookie dough forms. Stir through chocolate and macadamia nuts.

Step 4

Scoop the cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop or a dessert spoon (roughly 1.5 tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking trays, leaving room for the cookies to flatten out.

Step 5

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt.
