White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

White chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies are a personal favorite. They are a soft, chewy buttery cookie with white chocolate chips and crunchy macadamias.

I'm in the mood for a dreaming of spring type treat today.  I love white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies!  Not only are they irresistibly delicious, they fill my head with springtime optimism!  We got 18 inches of snow yesterday so we need some spring optimism here.  So if you need a boost of springtime happy thoughts try these amazing cookies today!

This is a basic cookie dough.  Cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs and vanilla.  Add the baking soda, salt, flour and stir in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.  Just remember since these are a butter type cookie you cannot substitute something else for the butter.  These cookies depend on the butter for flavor.

Now with these cookies I seriously recommend using parchment paper to line your baking sheets.  You can grease a baking sheet really, really well, but the cookies will spread too much and may still stick a little.  You can buy pre-cut, baking sheet size parchment paper or you can buy it in a big roll from Sam's Club.  I personally like the big roll.

This is a weird picture and the lighting isn't the best, but I wanted to show you what my cookies looked like right out of the oven.  As you hopefully can see they look deceptively under cooked.  I  assure you they are done.  They should not be browned or flat.  They are puffy and light colored.  You will notice as soon as they are out of the oven, they will quickly flatten.  I let mine sit on the pan for several minutes before I move them to a cooling rack.  Store your cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
