White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Full of chunks of macadamia nuts & white chocolate big enough to satisfy any sweet tooth.
It's White Chocolate Day! And yes, they do actually have a day set aside for white chocolate. I like white chocolate but am not as fond of it as of dark chocolate but in this White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie recipe, it takes on a whole new flavor! It's so good that these are now a family favorite.
I love to bake cookies, maybe because they're one of the easier things to bake and make the house smell so good but it could also be that I just like to eat them! Whatever the case, I make cookies whenever I get the chance.
These macadamia nut cookies have a wonderful buttery taste with big chunks of white chocolate and macadamia nuts that just put them over the top! They are definitely not on my list of diet foods but every once in a while I just have to treat myself to these little goodies.
If you get a chance to try them let me know what you think. Are they worth the few extra calories just once in awhile? You bet they are!
