White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Every month I visit some friends from church.  I like to bring treats.  Probably because I like to receive treats.  So I ask the people I visit what kinds of treats they love.  The husband of one of my friends made it pretty clear (straight out told me) that he loved white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.  I tried to convince him that chocolate chip cookies were my specialty.  But he wasn’t having it.

The big problem? I had never made these type of cookies…. what’s a girl to do?  I searched until I found a recipe that looked good.  I whipped a batch up and thank heavens my friend’s husband said “These are the best cookies I’ve ever had!”  And then said it a few times more.  Whether or not he was just trying to be appreciative and exaggerate his gratitude, I was glad he liked them and that I found a keeper for my recipe box.

White chocolate reminds me of my mom because she liked it when I was growing up.  I didn’t know until way later on that it wasn’t even really “chocolate.”  It doesn’t have cocoa solids like milk chocolate does.  I think it’s really sweet and don’t like it plain.  But it goes perfectly with these cookies.
