Sift flour, baking powder, salt 3 times and then fold thru the mix.

Finely chop the macadamia nuts and glace ginger and stir thru the mix with the chocolate chips.

Roll small balls of the mix and place on the baking tray, press down the tops with a fork, add some extra chocolate bits if you want and bake at 195 for about 11 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray then carefully remove to a cooling rack.
