    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

    Using an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in a medium bowl until light and creamy. Stir in vanilla, egg, flour, macadamia and chocolate until combined. Roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into 18 balls. Place on prepared trays, leaving room for spreading during cooking. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Remove from oven. Cool cookies on trays for 15 minutes (cookies will firm as they rest).
