Flavor was good, but the cookie ran all over the pan. I could hardly get them off the pan after cooling, they crumbled. Next time will just use a regular choc chip cookie recipe and substitute white choc and macadamia nuts. -
I decided to try this recipe based on reviews and I'm not sure if everybody else's cookies turned out this way, but fine were too flat. I could hardly get them off the cookie sheet. They didn't seem to bake very evenly either, even with my airbake cookie sheet. One of my co-workers also made them and had the exact same problem. They tasted fine but I think there's a mistake in the recipe because they didn't turn out like the cookies I normally make. I wouldn't use this recipe again, I'll probably just try a chocolate chip recipe and substitute the macadamias and white chocolate. By the way, I substituted almond extract for the vanilla and it was really good! -
I was so excited to make these for the cookie-thon. this is just the taste I was looking for. They are just like the Otis Spunkmeyer cookies we get in this area. At first, I thought there would be too much white chocolate chips, but after I stirred in half the package, I said, nah, put them all in. no mistake. I love the macadamia nuts!!! Thank you for this recipe!! -
These cookies were delicious and turned out perfect! I was a little nervous considering a couple of prior reviews in that the cookies crumbled, etc. The cookies came off the sheet with ease and intact. I followed the recipe exactly and it made quite a lot more cookies than I had anticipated. I will definitely make these cookies again and again!

YUM! I tried everything under the son to keep them from flattening out to no avail. No worries, they still taste great!

WOW! This is such a great recipe! I substituted pecans for macadamia (thanks Glinda!) and added 2 cups of nuts instead of 1. These cookies were amazing! My family couldn't get enough of these! Thanks a million Ocean~Ivy!!
