Hey there mgnick,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. If unable to clear the history in Safari on your MacBook, do you by chance have "Limit Adult Websites" or "Allowed Websites Only" enabled in System Preferences > Screen Time > Content & Privacy? If so, with these settings enabled it would not be possible to delete the history or cookies in Safari. To remove website data in Safari, this setting would need to be set "Unrestricted Access".
For more details check out this link here: Change Content Restrictions settings in Screen Time on Mac - Apple Support
We hope that's able to help.
Take care!
