<li>2 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened</li>
<li>3/4 cup granulated sugar</li>
<li>2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar</li>
<li>3 large eggs</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>1 &#038; 1/2 cups (9 ounces) bittersweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 cup (6 ounces) peanut butter chips</li>
<li>1 cup unsalted macadmaia nuts, coarsely chopped</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td class="directions">
<p>Preheat oven to 350°.</p>
<p>Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.</p>
<p>Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy (about 1 minute).  Gradually add sugar and brown sugar, beating until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Mix in vanilla extract.</p>
<p>Reduce mixer speed to low.  Add dry ingredients in three additions, mixing just until blended.  Stir in chocolate, peanut butter chips, and macadamia nuts just until blended.</p>
<p>Drop dough onto ungreased baking sheets, placing them 3 inches apart.*  Bake 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown.  Cool cookies on wire racks.</p>
</td>

<p>*The original recipe suggests scooping dough using a 1/4-cup cookie scoop, which yields 32 cookies.  I used a 1 tablespoon scoop, which yields about 60 cookies. You may need to adjust baking time depending on the size of your cookies. </p>
