Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla-flavored protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts evenly.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, using about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Space them approximately 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
