Move the oven rack to just below the center of the oven and heat to 350ºF degrees. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to combine.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until very creamy.
Beat in the sugar and the honey until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed just until incorporated. Using a silicone spatula, fold in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips just until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool in the pan to room temperature, then refrigerate until firm; about 2 hours.
Lift the blondies out of the pan with the parchment or foil. Cut into 2-inch squares or the desired size.
