1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, on at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
