Notes
Storage: Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
Make Ahead: The cookie dough can be made and chilled in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for 1 month and then baked. Scoop dough into balls before freezing.
Macadamia Nuts: I recommend using the Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts with Sea Salt from Costco.
