White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

This classic cookie takes me back (it’s only been two years, but feels like a decade ago) to my time at UCLA. When I was an undergrad, at any event or function on campus, people would always bring a mix of cookies from the local dessert store called “Diddy Riese”. Students would sometimes bring them in on presentation days for the entire class…I guess to win their way to an A? (tsk.) Which cookie would I always pick? You guessed it, the white chocolate macadamia nut. 
The simple white cookie tastes so amazing with the crunchy nuts and the creamy white chocolate. You can’t fail with this combination.  
The original recipe is from here, but I also posted below just for your convenience!
