Better than Sex Cookies
Here is a recipe for some very good cookies. These cookies were once described as 'better than sex' by a platonic female friend.

Well...These were a good cookie. However, I had to make 2 batches. The 1st batch followed it to a T and my cookies were slightly flat and needed a little something, but couldn't put my finger on it. Went back and looked at some other reviews and made the 2nd batch. I took the white sugar decreased it to 1 1/2 cups and added 1/2 brown sugar. I increased the vanilla extract to 1 1/2 tsp, increased the flour to 3 cups and used 12 oz white chips(works out to 1 3/4 cup--one bag) and 6 oz Macadamia baking pieces dry roasted. I didn't see the need to measure out 4 oz---I like nuts so I used the whole bag. With these adjustments, I got a nice flavorful cookie as I think was intended, and still slightly soft in the middle...I have a gas oven so 8 1/2 to 9 minutes was just perfect. Even though the first batch was decent, the 2nd batch was excellent..I couldn't rate this a bad recipe at all just some minor help. Will make this again with the adjustments.

My family really enjoyed these cookies. I was a little disappointed only because they flatten out so much.
This is the tastiest basic cookie recipe I have found. You can add a variety of ingredients to this to make different cookies for ex. choc. chips, nuts, dried fruits, or just sprinkle with colored sugar. You can follow this recipe exactly as it is, no improvements necessary. You won't be disappointed!
very very good cookie....so what if they flatten out, just make your little cookie ball taller instead of flatter before you stick them in the oven...not hard
These are basically sugar cookies with white chocolate and nuts. I will stick to my original white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Need to add brown sugar to these
Easy, simple, and with ingredients I can keep on hand at all times. I will make this again, but I tweaked the first batch a bit. I ran out of vanilla extract so I used almond instead and I only had 2 oz of nuts. So the next time I make this, I will do it the right way!! When pulling the cookies out of the oven, it's important to let them cool for about a min or so because they are so gooey in the center. But when they cool, they firm up and are sooo yummy and chewy!
I used the same exact ingredients as Mike submitted, though baked them as a Bar Cookie and they " Scored" .
These cookies were great. They definitely reminded me of a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie, but were slightly different. Be sure to not bake over the time they specify b/c they bottoms will burn. Try and sneak a few while they are hot, they are SO good.
Easy cookie to make, liked the consistency although I felt like they were missing a little something. The taste was just a little on the bland side. The look and presentation was good, I did not find they were too flat like other reviewers had mentioned. I also froze individual dough balls to use at a later date.
I usually have a hard time getting cookies to turn out right (call me challenged)but these came out perfectly...if I can bake these anyone can! And for the added bonus, everyone loved them. My mother even asked me for the recipe!
Good cookie, easy to make and form the cookie but they required cooking for 14 minutes in my oven as at 9 they were still doughy. Bake time on this should be taken as a start time, not total time if you are a first time baker.
I love this recipe. I changed mine up a little, instead of regular Vanilla Extract I used the double strength Vanilla at the dosage it calls for in the recipe. It's a little hard to find Vanilla Baking chips where I live, so I used White Chocolate and rolled them into thick little balls. No trouble with the cookies flattening out for me. :)
Okay - but I must say -- someone must have had " bad hanky panky " because these taste too sweet, and similar to a sugar cookie --- I'd try a different recipe next time ---- dont waste your money on all the ingredients .
I made these for some friends at work and everyone laughed about the name. It is a very good sugar cookie...but I don't think it lived up to its name in my opinion. Everyone liked it (most people like macadamia nuts), but I wasn't crazy about them. I am not big on white chocolate, however, so maybe I shouldn't be the judge. I think next time I will try this cookie with dried pineapple or 1 cup of coconut instead of the white chocolate.
WOW! These were the best. My husband said that they were better than Mrs.Field's. My daughter put it in the microwave for a few seconds and that really was good.
I left out the nuts and used chocolate chips and these were still incredible. These are now my favorite.
I've made these on a couple of separate occasions. The first batch I left in too long because they didn't appear "done" on top. Big mistake. Make sure not to overbake them and they'll be outstanding.
Re name: Surely you jest! Seriously though, it is a very tasty cookie that is popular here.
pure deliciousness in cookie form. I always take mine out when they are a little raw looking. I assure you they will continue to bake on the pan while cooling. that way you don't get a burned bottom. ick
The name speaks for itself, believe me it's true!
I absolutley love these cookies!! I can't wait for my DH to try them..he loves macadamia & white chocolate chip cookies and I have a feeling he will love these too. I made these for Christmas for him, and I think these wil be a regular tradition in this house!!
I really thought these cookies were good. VERY sweet, but also very good. I too made them for a going away party at work and everyone absolutely loved them!
I definitely agree!! Absolutely gorgeous.
These were a big hit at work. I will definitely make them again.
These are awful cookies. The cookies are still raw after baking only nine minutes. When cooled, they spread out like peanut brittle (and have the same texture). Stay away from these cookies.
I've made this recipe many, many times. And although I don't eat nuts my husband and friends do. They all LOVE this recipe. That's plenty good enough recommendation for me to make them again and again and again. I have and will continue to so.
My family agrees that this is a great cookie. I have made them twice already and will be making them again and again.
These cookies are so yummy! I made them for my family and they absolutely loved them. My dad said that he has had many cookies in his day, but these are by far the best he has ever tasted! They are the best when they are soft.
Cookies are wonderful, but I baked mine a little longer than 9 minutes, I felt when I removed them from the oven at nine minutes they didn't harden enough... MMM MMM MMM Good
Well, they're not better than, but awfully close!! These cookies rock! But do cook them for only 9 minutes, even though they don't look done - they will be soft and chewy if you do. Cook them longer for crispy cookies.
Pardonez Moi Monsouir!!! But,combined with heavenly love, no cookie is better than,...you know,... (:?\} "That!" Wheuuu!!!... Anyway, I haven't made these cookies yet, but I will, and let you know what I think.
These came out excellent! They have a very nice texture, but watch out, they spred out a LOT when you're cooking them. I added a bit more macadamia nuts, any cookie taste better with more nuts
The BF loved these cookies. I have made many batches of macadamia nut/whilte chocolate cookies and these are the best ever. I had been converting toll house cookie recipes with mixed success. thanks for sharing this. cookingkate
I wish I would’ve read the reviews about the being thin. Will try new adjustments per reviews and try again. Just hate I still have so much dough left.
Made this recipe for a Birthday gift for my sister. They turned out perfectly. Will be making these again and again.
This is the first cookie recipe I ever made. Very simple, and a crowd pleaser. Also makes A LOT. They have still disappeared every time. This recipe has been a holiday staple for me since I was in high school!
