1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts, chopped, if desired

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.  In another bowl, beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla until creamy.    
Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture.  Stir in the nuts and chips.

Roll into balls, or drop by the spoonful, onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown.
