My husband and I thought these were pretty good, but my sister and her boyfriend didn't care for them (I'm guessing because of the white chocolate). I cut the recipe in half and substituted walnuts for macadamia nuts since I am allergic to them. I baked the cookies for exactly 6 minutes, and they were still soft and chewy the next day, just the way I like them.
