2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature1 cup sugar2 cups light brown sugar4 eggs1 tbsp vanilla4 1/2 cups flour2 tsps baking soda With thick Chinese meat cleaver, hack to pieces:24 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar12 oz white chocolate bar14 oz macadamia nuts NOTEYou may substitute chocolate and white chocolate chips for the barsif you are not feeling particularly angst-ridden. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.In a large bowl, thrash butter and sugars until uniform.Beat in eggs and vanilla.Add flour and baking soda; whip until smooth.Toss in chocolate chunks and nuts.To avoid the “chocolate chip cookie manhole cover” look,refrigerate the cookie dough for a couple of hours before baking.Throw batter by tablespoons full onto an ungreasedbaking sheet—aim so that the cookies land 2 inches apart.Bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes.Using a spatula, pry the cookies loose from the baking sheet,and allow them to vent on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
