Disclaimer: I am not a great baker. Now the review...these came out great! Everyone loved them, and the flavor were great. Advice I to oter bakersL 1) take them out before they look brown, unless you want crispy cookies. I baked some for 10 minutes, others for 12, and I prefered the 10-minute, chewier cookies; and 2) put the macadamia nuts in a ziplock bag and break them into smaller pieces before adding them to the cookie batter. It distributes the macadamia nut taste throughout the cookies. -
These were FANTASTIC! I don't normally like white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, but these just melt in your mouth. Most of this batch was mailed off to my deployed hubby but the left over's went to work and were gone in the blink of an eye. Nothing but rave reviews. -
Wow! My fiance' just loves white chocolate and is going to flip when he tastes these! They are sweet and buttery, slightly chewy. I put a piece of bread in the container to keep them soft. Excellent cookie! -
These are so good! I actually substituted chopped up slivered almonds for the macadamias (which appear all but impossible to find lately!). Other than that everything was kept the same & using a regular spoon to measure out balls of dough, at 11 minutes, I turned out over 70 beautiful, buttery, & golden delicious cookies! Fabulous!!..a keeper for sure! UPDATE: I made these again, with macadamia nuts & used 1/2 tsp almond extract & 1 tsp vanilla. SUPER!! Thanks again!! -
My son's favorite cookie is White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, so I made a batch of these cookies a few months ago to send him where he is currently deployed in the Middle East. Although he received them a few weeks after I mailed them, he said they were still great!<br/>I just made another batch tonight to send to him and a few to keep for myself because they are so yummy. These are quick and easy to make. Hopefully, they'll make it to him a little quicker this time! :)

Wow, awesome! I was cleaning out the cabinets and found some macadamia nuts. Not enough for 1 1/2 cups, but probably a good 3/4 cup and it worked just fine. Also had some Bakers white chocolate squares instead of opening a new bag of chips so I put in about 7 squares of that chopped into chunks. Baked the whole 12 minutes in my oven, and then let cool to a perfect browness on the sheet. -

I love to cook which is why I'm a recipezaar junkie! It is so great to have all the recipes I want at my fingertips.
Well, it is all about me....I've been married to my amazing husband for three years. When I'm not experimenting with recipes at home, we love to dine at all the great restaurants here in Hawaii. We travel a lot between Maui and Oahu being we live and work on Oahu and most of our loved ones are on Maui. Whenever possible we try to get to the beach for our sunset barbeques. The picture posted was taken in front of his grandmother's beach house in Hau'ula. How lucky are we?
Update 02/06/08: My husband & I have relocated to Alabama. My military man is stationed at Ft. Rucker & attending flight school. Though we are soo far from our family & home I'm loving it here. I do miss the fresh island fish and the local farmer's market. It's been a challenge finding the ingrediants I'm used to using. I drive my DH crazy going store to store to find what I need. When it's all said & done and there is a delicious meal in front of him, he says it's all worth it! We have definately embraced the food of the south. It's a culinary adventure & I'm enjoying the ride.
