THE BIG AUSSIE BISCUIT

Ingredients

• 226gr unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
• Sprinkle with sugar, sweet cocoa and cinnamon or nutmeg.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 14-inch, light coloured, round pizza pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars. Add the eggs, beating well after the addition of each.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix with a whisk. Add to the butter mixture, mixing to incorporate, and add the vanilla extract. Fold in the dark and white chips and the nuts. Spread across the bottom of the prepared pan and bake until the edges are golden and the cookie is set but the centre is still slightly soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with combines sugar, cinnamon and cocoa, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
