White Chocolate Orange Macadamia Cookies

White chocolate and macadamia is a pretty popular cookie flavor combo and one of my personal favorites and this version adds even more flavor with the simple addition of some grated orange zest to the dough.  To get that perfect crispy chewy texture, be careful not to over bake them and be very certain to chill the dough completely before baking. The chilling is very important with such a soft dough or the cookies will spread too much on the pan and possibly over bake. Just omit the orange zest if you want the classic version of this cookie.
