These cookies were great. I doubled everything except for the nuts and the white chocolate chips. I thought there was plenty of each in my double batch and wouldn't have wanted more. They were cooked for 7 minutes which darkened the bottom, crisped the edges and left the middle soft and chewy. These cookies are very sweet! I am a fan of sweet but they were almost too sweet. That's a good thing though because I wasn't able to eat a dozen in one sitting!

I dont know what I did wrong, but my cookies came out hard and with little to no flavor. I followed the recipe correctly. Will do over until I get it right.

You could easily half the chocolate and nuts in this recipe... I also found the dough was way too dry, but I'm also in Edmonton in the middle of the coldest, driest winter in the past couple of years. I wasn't impressed with the flavour however, so I think I'll keep looking for another recipe. Sorry!

These turned out pretty good - I'm going to look for a better recipe, but these did the trick, my husband liked them (that's all that matters). I couldn't find unsalted macadamia nuts, so I got the salted ones & rinsed them in cold water - sounds kinda silly, but it worked.

Wonderful recipe. I substituted 1/2 of white sugar with brown sugar. Very, very good.

These are good but don't knock your socks off. I found that it called for too much white chocolate and nuts and ended up using about 1/2.

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday and followed it exactly - the cookies came out wonderfully! Everyone in my family really enjoyed them and is clamoring for more. I'll be making these again really soon...might play around with the proportion of white chocolate (adding less), but other than that, this recipe comes out perfectly without doing anything to it - great for people like me, who only have time to bake once in a while but still want it to come out well right away!

Great base recipe - I only made minor adjustments to make them delicious. First, I doubled the recipe excep kept the chocolate/nuts measurements the same. Second, I made it 1 tbsp vanilla. Third, I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Then I chilled the dough for about 10-15 min before scooping. I baked at 350 for 10 min in my oven until the edges were just brown. They didn't spread much at all, weren't too cakey, and were absolutely devine the next day.

Delicious basic cookie recipe! I did it with white chocolate and drained and chopped maraschino cherries instead of the macadamias. Oh my, so yummy. Perfect!! My girls loved it and so did my husband.

This recipe was awesome...although I did make some changes: I doubled all the ingredients, minus the nuts and chocolate. I used half white and half brown sugar. I baked each batch for 14 minutes. They turned out soooo good. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. One thing I did learn is (and this is probably because I am a novice cookie baker) is that you have to let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet before you transfer them to the wire racks. I mangled a couple because I wasn't aware of that....other than that, I will definately be making these again!!!
