My favorite store-bought cookie is the Great American Cookie Company's White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie. It's better than any macadamia cookie out there ... anywhere. I FINALLY found a copycat recipe online (recipelink.com) that's as close to GACC's version as you can get. Enjoy!

How To Make copycat white chocolate macadamia nut cookies
-
1Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed.
-
2Add coconut, egg, milk and vanilla; mix well.
-
3In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and combine until dough forms.
-
4Mix in the white chocolate and nuts.
-
5Measure out about 2-1/2 tablespoons dough and form a ball. Drop each ball of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes. (I use a cookie scoop for less mess)
-
6DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies should come out of the oven appearing slightly browned, yet undercooked. When cooled, the cookies will be soft and chewy like the original.
