7. Scoop Dough:
   • Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly soft.
9. Cool:
   • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Variation: You can substitute the macadamia nuts with other nuts, like walnuts or pecans.
