Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place 4 tablespoons of butter in bowl of your stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Melt remaining 10 tablespoons of butter in light colored skillet over medium heat. Swirl pan constantly and continue to cook until butter is dark golden brown. Remove from heat and immediately pour into stand mixer bowl and let it sit until butter is completely melted.
  4. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and vanilla to stand mixer and place on medium low speed until ingredients come together. Add egg and egg yolk and whisk on medium speed until smooth. Let mixture rest for a few minutes in the stand mixer.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk flour and baking soda together in a small bowl and set aside.
  6. Whisk mixture in the stand mixer for another 30 seconds until smooth and shiny.
  7. Remove bowl from the stand mixer and use spatula to stir in flour mixture until just combined. Add dark chocolate, white chocolate and macadamia nuts and mix just until evenly distributed.
  8. Measure out about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into ball. Place on cookie sheet a couple inches apart. Cook in the oven for about 6 minutes, pull cookie sheet slightly out of the oven to sprinkle a pinch of Maldon salt onto each cookie and then place back into the oven for another 3-5 minutes until surface is just set and edges are slightly golden. Remove cookie sheet from the oven, cool on a wire rack while you bake the remaining couple batches.
Recipe Notes

To shave the dark chocolate, take about 4 oz of a chocolate bar/square and use a serrated knife to make 1/4 inch cuts across; you will get a nice mix of small shavings and larger chunks – use them all!
