  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
