Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
Fold in chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
