How to make Copycat Mrs Fields Macadamia Cookies
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer cream room temperature softened butter with granulated white sugar and cream for 5-6 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl multiple times allowing the butter and sugar to cream until nice and fluffy.
Creaming the butter and sugar together at medium speed will help create a delicious cookie as the butter mixture becomes so light and full of air. It will also turn a pale yellow color.
Then add eggs and allow to fully combine before adding brown sugar and vanilla extract.
Cream mixture for another 3 minutes. Scraping sides of bowl ensures that all ingredients are properly mixed together.
Gradually add dry ingredients making sure to fully combine but do not over mix cookie dough.
I prefer to hand stir and add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts into cookie dough. If making larger cookies leave macadamia nuts whole, there is no need to chop into smaller pieces. However, if making a smaller cookie I find it easiest to chop nuts into smaller pieces.
Make sure to preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare cookie sheet. Line with parchment paper or use a silicone mat for easy clean up.
Using a medium cookie scoop place cookie dough scoops on baking sheet allowing 3-4 inches between mounded dough.
Scoop 2 scoop fulls of a medium size scoop per cookie for a large gourmet size cookie. Or 1 scoop for a traditional size cookie. Baking time remains the same.
Baking Cookies
Cookies are baked with edges are set and center is no longer glossy. Do not over bake cookies. Centers will be soft.
Remove from oven and allow to sit on baking sheet for a minute or two before moving to cooling rack to fully cool.

How to make Copycat Nibblers
Nibblers are the tiny small cookies you could buy in groups of 10. They were fun to just pop in your mouth as you shopped the mall or they were easily shared with friends or your siblings.
Nibblers are made the same way except it's key to chop nuts before mixing into cookie dough.
Use a small or even tiny size 110 cookie scoop and bake for a minute less. These tiny 1 teaspoon size cookie are adorable and a favorite for big and small hands.
Storage and Freezing Cookies
Cooled cookies can be stored in an airtight container or ZipLoc bag for up to 1 week. Cookies are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days. Layer or stack cookies is fine when placing a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Freeze cooled cookies in an airtight container or ZipLoc Freezer Bag. When stacking cookies make sure to separate layers with parchment paper or wax paper.
Pro Tips
Freeze Cookie Dough. Cookie Dough can be frozen in individual scoops. To bake from frozen add an addition 2-3 minutes.
Room Temperature Ingredients. Using softened butter is key to this recipe. Butter should sit on counter for 1 hour prior to baking. Do not use butter that has turned to mush. It's too soft and will result in flat cookies.
Measuring Dry Ingredients. For the most consistent baking weigh ingredients with a kitchen scale. When a scale is not available I suggest giving the flour a stir with a spoon or whisk to add air into the flour. Then carefully spoon flour into measuring cup and level off the top.
Baking Time. Do not over bake cookies. Cookies are baked when edges are set and center is no longer glossy. This will result in soft centers.
