White & Milk Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

I made a double batch of these cookies for our big 4th of July party at my parent's house.  I filled the cookie tray three times throughout the day and each time the cookies vanished.  I received many compliments on these cookies which were delicious.  They are a variation of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Honestly, I like these even better.

1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
