White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies are a must-try for anyone who loves sweet treats. These cookies are perfect for any occasion as they are easy to make and will leave your house smelling fantastic. The crunch of the macadamia nuts combined with the creaminess of the white chocolate chips makes every bite a delight that will have you wanting more. These cookies are best enjoyed with a glass of warm milk or a hot chocolate on a lazy winter afternoon, though they are just as tempting year-round.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2.	Dice the macadamia nuts roughly, ensuring the pieces are not too small.
3.	In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4.	Add in the egg and vanilla bean paste, continuing to mix until well combined.
5.	Gradually fold in the flour followed by the chopped white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
6.	Roll the cookie dough mixture into small balls, placing them onto a lined baking tray and gently flatten slightly with a fork.
7.	Place the cookie tray in the preheated oven and bake for around 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8.	Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool down on the tray for a few minutes before carefully transferring them onto a cooling rack to completely cool.
