Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
