If you’re a cookie freak, like a bunch of cookie monsters I think you are, you have arrived right on schedule for cookies! It’s the right time, right place! 🙂 Seriously, anytime is cookie time, right?
I have many, sweet memories of baking tons of home-made cookies with friends and family, and this cookie recipe is definitely one we cherish.
Thank goodness even on a bad day, cookies always make everything better.
I love good, delicious home-made cookies, and these are some of the BEST-EVER! Tradition of baking cookies for families, has been carried down from generation to generation.
Chewy, nutty, buttery, white chocolate chip cookies chocked full of macadamia nuts. Macadamia nuts
I particularly like using dry roasted salted macadamia nuts with the sweet white chocolate chips for the sweet and salty effect.
These are an extremely popular cookie during the holidays for sure. One of Santa’s favorite cookies for sure!
I even made some with cranberries and the tartness of the cranberries went so well with the Best-Ever White Chocolate 
Enjoy!
These cookies are thick, soft, and buttery and chewy, exactly what you want right? They're not too sweet, but it's heaven when you get that taste of sweet white chocolate and a bit of salty macadamia nuts. Simply awesome!!
