I used the 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening that was recommended and these came out perfect. They are a new favorite at our house and every bit as good as what we get at the bakery.

Sub Par at best. The foundation of this cookie appeared promising, however, upon taste test... Bland!! Grr.. macadamia nuts are indeed not the cheapest of nuts, and should not be squandered in this bland interpretation of a cookie. I did infact consider the fact that perhaps I had missed what would appear to be a key ingredient...I did not.

I followed the recipe as stated except I increased the vanilla to 1 tsp, as I didn't have any almond extract. I had no problems with them being too thin or spreading out on the cookie sheet. I'm not the best one to rate these cookies, as they are not favorite in general. I made them for the BF...hoping they'll be a hit with him!

I made these omitting the almond extract, using the full 1 tsp. of real vanilla extract. I also used real butter softened and baked for 8 min. with one additional min. left on the cookie sheet to firm up. They were soft, buttery, and delicious. No problem with the cookies spreading at all. A keeper!

I found these cookies really average. They weren't bad or anything but they did not blow me away. I don't think I'll make them again. My family agreed that they were a bit underwhelming. The reviews made me really excited and they just weren't what I was expecting.

Do not alter this recipe. It's perfect as is. I bake every recipe as listed the first time and I'm glad I didn't take the advice of some of the other reviewers. The cookies didn't spread too thin, they had a great consistency, and they are definitely a new favorite. Be careful not to melt your butter (if you warm it up in the microwave). The key is to barely soften it. If you didn't like this recipe, you didn't do something right.

These were extremely thick and cakey. They did not spread at all, they were lil pucks...White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are one of my favs and these were the worst cookie Ive ever made. Glad I made a 1/2 batch to test first...

These cookies are AMAZING! They turned out perfectly. The only modification I made was omitting the almond extract (since I didn't have any) and increasing the vanilla extract to 1 tsp to make up for it. I will definitely be making these again soon!
