Notes
*Macadamia nuts: I used Kirkland's salted macadamia nuts and omitted the salt in this recipe. If using salted, I recommend you do the same! If using unsalted, add 1/4 tsp salt to the cookie dough.
*White chocolate: I chopped up a Lindt white chocolate bar (100g). I love how high quality it is and how well it melts and makes pools of chocolate in the cookies. You can also use white chocolate chips though!
