Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°F.

In medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt. Mix well, set aside.

In a large bowl with a mixer blend sugars at medium speed. Add butter and mix to until it forms a grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until fully combined.

Add the flour mixture, macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips, and blend on low speed until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Move immediately to cooling rack.
