I know I am late posting these and have left you all drooling on your chin waiting but I have been working on a little something new in my blog world. It won’t be long until I can tell you all about it but until then just get the biggest glass of milk you can maneuver to the table to go with these cookies.

Tip: Be discreet, don’t draw too much attention to yourself or you will have to share.

As if White Chocolate Chip Cookies weren’t delightful enough, craisins and macadamia nuts push these little beauties waaay over the ‘A-maz-ing Cookie Richter Scale’ ! (rector, riktor?)

Yep, they are earth-shakingly-good! I would not lie to you, I mean if I just ate a row  2 of these for lunch, they better be!

They are  blissfully delicious. Chewy and gooey. Crunchy and salty sweet. Perfect company for me and my coffee, I could live (or die) happily ever after with these cookies.

Next time I make them I am going to behave superbly out-of-control and add melted chocolate to the dough as well.

For sure that will be the death of me. Death by white chocolate, can you tell I’m smiling? …… works for me.

Macadamia nuts and white chocolate = amazing, white chocolate + cranberry = so so good, combine the three together and I can only imagine. Did you cool the mixture before baking at all out of interest because they look really thick and chewy

Hi! Yep you know it! these cookies are so, so good! I just made these like any other cookie mix and rolled them into balls & popped them on the baking sheet straight away. They are that easy!

I made them last night and they are FANTASTIC! I brought them into work and I am getting flooded with compliments. I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1 1/2 C of nuts was a little too much for the dough I found so I used 1 C of macadamia nuts instead. Also I found that if I cooked them for 13 to 15 minutes they were cooked well enough. :)

I have adjusted the baking time on the recipe! I guess I must have made my cookies waaay bigger than normal, that sounds about right. lol! I used only 1 cup of nuts in the recipe and that is indeed plenty. -Cathy
