Well...These were a good cookie. However, I had to make 2 batches. The 1st batch followed it to a T and my cookies were slightly flat and needed a little something, but couldn't put my finger on it. Went back and looked at some other reviews and made the 2nd batch. I took the white sugar decreased it to 1 1/2 cups and added 1/2 brown sugar. I increased the vanilla extract to 1 1/2 tsp, increased the flour to 3 cups and used 12 oz white chips(works out to 1 3/4 cup--one bag) and 6 oz Macadamia baking pieces dry roasted. I didn't see the need to measure out 4 oz---I like nuts so I used the whole bag. With these adjustments, I got a nice flavorful cookie as I think was intended, and still slightly soft in the middle...I have a gas oven so 8 1/2 to 9 minutes was just perfect. Even though the first batch was decent, the 2nd batch was excellent..I couldn't rate this a bad recipe at all just some minor help. Will make this again with the adjustments.

I made these for some friends at work and everyone laughed about the name. It is a very good sugar cookie...but I don't think it lived up to its name in my opinion. Everyone liked it (most people like macadamia nuts), but I wasn't crazy about them. I am not big on white chocolate, however, so maybe I shouldn't be the judge. I think next time I will try this cookie with dried pineapple or 1 cup of coconut instead of the white chocolate.

Okay - but I must say -- someone must have had " bad hanky panky " because these taste too sweet, and similar to a sugar cookie --- I'd try a different recipe next time ---- dont waste your money on all the ingredients .

Good cookie, easy to make and form the cookie but they required cooking for 14 minutes in my oven as at 9 they were still doughy. Bake time on this should be taken as a start time, not total time if you are a first time baker.

These cookies are sooo good! My family loves them and my husband says he thinks they are better than Mrs. Fields. (blush) I don't know about better than sex, but they are fantastical. :)

I was babysitting this little girl this week and we decided we wanted to do a lemonade stand. So, I went online and chose this recipe (of course withholding the name of it) They came out perfectly and smelled like heaven. Better than sex? I think not. But delicious, nevertheless. However, a little too sweet for my taste. I'll probably cut back on the sugar next time.

This is the first cookie recipe I ever made. Very simple, and a crowd pleaser. Also makes A LOT. They have still disappeared every time. This recipe has been a holiday staple for me since I was in high school!

This is the tastiest basic cookie recipe I have found. You can add a variety of ingredients to this to make different cookies for ex. choc. chips, nuts, dried fruits, or just sprinkle with colored sugar. You can follow this recipe exactly as it is, no improvements necessary. You won't be disappointed!

These cookies were great. They definitely reminded me of a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie, but were slightly different. Be sure to not bake over the time they specify b/c they bottoms will burn. Try and sneak a few while they are hot, they are SO good.

I just made these cookies-I followed what others said to make it alittle higher than flat cookie because it spreads. Also they were not done at 9 min. I think 10 min. is better and close to a 375 oven. First batch at 9 min. was doughy. They are good cookies if baked correctly. But better than sex???? I'm divorced-not sure about that one!

very very good cookie....so what if they flatten out, just make your little cookie ball taller instead of flatter before you stick them in the oven...not hard

Cookies are good...not as good as sex but good. If you chill dough before cooking they don't become as thin as if you don't. Also they need to be cooked for 10 minutes not 9 minutes. Thanks

These came out excellent! They have a very nice texture, but watch out, they spred out a LOT when you're cooking them. I added a bit more macadamia nuts, any cookie taste better with more nuts
