In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the white chocolate chunks and chopped macadamia nuts.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Note
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate bars chopped into chunks rather than chips for a creamier texture.
Macadamia nuts can be used whole or chopped. Chopping them ensures a better distribution in each cookie.
You can double the dough and add regular chocolate chunks and pecans to half of it for two varieties of cookies.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
