BETTER THAN MAX AND ERMA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA COOKIES
I wanted a thick cookie to duplicate the ones at Max and Erma's, which my mom adores. I came up with this, which is similar to many such recipes, but the real trick to the flavor and thickness is in the cornstarch and the turbinado sugar. The result is a sinfully decadent and flavorful cookie. My mom said Max and Erma's cookies will now make her sad to eat, because they aren't nearly as good as these. I'm not a fan of white chocolate macadamia, and even I had trouble laying off them. Prep time does not include refrigeration. (I don't recommend skipping the fridge step--cold dough helps with the thicker consistency.)

BEST WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
This recipe is from http://www.recchiuti.com and I am saving it here to keep it forever and ever. These are very yummy. Better than any store-bought. This is the first recipe I've tried for these cookies and I won't be needing to look for any more! Browning the butter is not something I'm used to doing but it was very easy! Just be careful to take it off when it turns golden brown, and don't let it burn. They won't spread too much, so don't worry about them getting too thin.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA COOKIES
White baking chips and macadamia nuts are a fantastic duo in these buttery cookies. They are a nice change from the classic chocolate chip ones. -Cathy Lennon, Newport, Tennessee

COPYCAT WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
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!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed.
- 2. Add coconut, egg, milk and vanilla; mix well.
- 3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and combine until dough forms.
- 4. Mix in the white chocolate and nuts.
- 5. Measure 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)
- 6. DO 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.
