Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped crystallized ginger, macadamia nuts, and rolled oats.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
