Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until blended.
4
Fold macadamia nuts and white chocolate into dough until evenly distributed.
5
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Gently press each dough ball down slightly to help cookies spread evenly during baking.
