  • Toast the macadamia nuts before using them to enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
