Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

    Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Note

For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips or chop a white chocolate bar into coarse chunks for better melting texture.

Macadamia nuts can be expensive; ensure they are fresh to avoid any rancid flavors. Toasting them lightly before adding to the dough can enhance their flavor.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

If the dough feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping to prevent excessive spreading.
