White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are cookies that I've always loved, but never personally made at home. I always reach for them when I see them at parties or in bakeries. But for some reason, I was intimidated to make them myself, from scratch.
Until now. After baking this recipe a handful of times, I'm no longer intimidated by them. In fact, if I could eat cookies for every meal, I'd bake them all the time!

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies from Scratch Recipe
When I decided what flavor I wanted to bake for my next cookies in the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies series, I set out to find a good recipe. I landed in a collaborative cookbook that was given to me by my husband's grandmother.
The cookbook was pretty old, circa 1988, but I didn't care as long as the recipe worked. And this from-scratch recipe did not disappoint!
The cookies are slightly crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
Obviously you can use all white chocolate chips (that's what the recipe calls for). But sometimes around Christmas, you can find these red and green chips and they make the cookies very festive!!
Grab a glass of milk and you'll be all set with these cookies!!
