White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

I've tried two different recipes for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I think I prefer this one. The first time I tried making them I couldn't find any macadamia nuts. Guess where I found them? Target! They were pricey, but on the bright side, they were already chopped. :)
