1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Beat the softened butter, packed light brown sugar and white sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt together. Gradually stir this into the butter mixture until just combined.

5. Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and chopped white chocolate until evenly distributed through the dough.

6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.

8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
