Notes

Substitutions:
  • No macadamia nuts? No Problem! Try using cashews or almonds in this recipe.
  • You could use a chopped white chocolate baking bar instead of chips.
Expert Tips:
  • Be sure to set out the butter and eggs about an hour or so prior to baking.
  • Remember to check the expiration date on the baking powder!
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a normal spoon to measure out these cookies.
  • These cookies can be made into any size! Want bigger cookies? Go ahead! Just remember the baking time will need to be a little bit longer.
  • Remember that these cookies are going to spread!
  • As the cookies cool, the middles will most likely sink and you will have flatter cookies.
