Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the flour mixture aside for now.
Soften the butter in the microwave for 40 seconds. Or let it set on the countertop for about 15 minutes.
In a different bowl, add the softened butter with the granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix thoroughly.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix together.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until blended.
Slowly add the flour mixture together with the butter and sugar mixture until blended into a smooth cookie dough. Do not over mix.
Add the white chocolate chips and the macadamia nuts to the cookie dough. Mix well with a spoon or spatula, not an electric mixer.
You have the option at this time to refrigerate the cookie dough in the refrigerator for a duration of half an hour or more.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
With a cookie scoop (or spoon), put cookie dough balls on the parchment paper, about 2 to 3 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the oven between 10 and 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown. We baked our cookies for 11 minutes.
When the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes.
After that, transfer the cookies to a wire rack until the cookies are completely cool.
Repeat these steps for additional batches.
Notes
Cookie Tips:
If you only have one cookie sheet, when preparing the second batch of cookies, do not put the cookie dough on the cookie sheet if it is still hot, or even warm. The cookie dough will start to spread out before it is put into the oven. Make sure the cookie sheet has completely cooled for the next batch. Invest in a couple of cookie sheets instead.
Parchment paper helps the cookies bake more evenly. The cookies won't spread out as much. There is no need to spray the cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray when you use parchment paper.
