- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- 2
Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. (If you don't want to use paper liners, you could coat a muffin pan with cooking spray instead.)
- 3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- 4
In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the butter, milk, egg and vanilla.
- 5
Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
- 6
Add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and gently toss to combine.

Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray.

Place into oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

To make the glaze, microwave white chocolate chips in a small bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
1 min - 11
Add the confectioners' sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk as needed.

When the muffins are done, cool for 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze on each muffin. (A squeeze bottle or Ziploc bag is perfect for this.)
10 min - 13
Allow glaze to set before serving.
