Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy lifting.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, into the butter-sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a thick dough forms.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and roasted macadamia nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
