Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small saucepan, add 10 T. butter; melt over medium heat until butter is brown and smells nutty, swirling the pan as needed to brown evenly; remove from heat.
Add browned butter to mixing bowl; add remaining cold butter, cut into 1 T. pieces; mix until butter is melted. Add both sugars, vanilla and sea salt; mix until blended.
Whisk whole egg with egg yolk; add to butter/sugar mixture; beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Allow mixture to rest for 3 minutes. Repeat beating mixture for 30 seconds and resting for 3 minutes until mixture becomes thick and pale.
Add baking soda; mix for 30 seconds; scrape down sides of bowl. Add flour and macadamia nuts; mix on low speed just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips.
