I know the picture doesn’t look like chocolate chip cookies, and that’s because they aren’t.

This recipe is a base to make white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies.  One day I might make chocolate chip cookies with this recipe.  One day…  Until then..

Simple, straightforward, delicious, with a few variations (macadamia/white chocolate chip) that never fail.

Recipe Notes

You have to watch carefully for these to be done.   Too much and they are dry, too little and they are left a bit doughy.  Just right and, well, they're just awesome!
