NUTS about cookies

White chocolate and macadamia nut cookies are my go-to cookies, when I feel happy, when I feel down, or just when I feel like a cookie celebration. Whenever I need to bake cookies for an event or a party I bake these, they are my absolute favourite cookies. Also because they are so easy to make it means you can bake them all the time.

The thing about these cookies are that they are so very addictive once you have made them, you need to make them again, and again, and again. Also you may find yourself uncontrollably eating the cookie dough when you are making the mixture.



Although delicious, these cookies may be more dangerous than you think, always warn people that they contain macadamia nuts.
