First, in a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer (either a hand mixer or a stand mixer), cream together butter and both the brown sugar and white sugars. Mix until creamy. If you're using an electric mixer, start off with a low speed and gradually increase.
Mix in eggs and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Then combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients.
Mix in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Drop chilled dough by rounded teaspoons onto an un-greased baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet to a cooling rack until cool. If you're not eating your cookies immediately and are putting them away for later.

Notes
Make sure you let them cool and come to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container.For this recipe, you'll see in the video that I use a hand mixer. Stand mixers are fine too, but for this recipe, I think the hand mixer does the trick. I tend to reserve my stand mixer for bread or pizza dough. Or if the volume of what I'm mixing necessitates a larger bowl.I put together a short video on how to make these crispy delicious White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. If you like sweet, with a touch of salt and a crunchy outside you are going to love these.
