I always forget that I love these cookies. Maybe it’s because I always think that I don’t really like white chocolate all that much.  Is anybody else like that?

Like, if someone offers me something with white chocolate, I’m all, “meehhhhhh….. sure, if there’s nothing else to eat.”

And then I’m all like, “omg, why is this delicious thing SO GOOD?”

Oh yeah. It’s because I crazy love me some white chocolate. Duh.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies were actually my very first exposure to white chocolate. And, as usual, I only ate them because Subway was out of chocolate chip cookies. And I wanted a cookie with my sub.

Obviously.

I’m pretty sure I ended up eat three that night. Because, as it turns out, white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are THE BOMB.

Sounds good to me!

  1. I seriously was JUST thinking about these cookies. Out of the blue the other day they popped in my head and I was all, MAN, I haven’t had a white chocolate macadamia cookie in FOREVER! Thanks for sharing the recipe, can’t wait to fix my long hiatus from these amazing things!

    P.S. Who chooses chips over cookies at Suway?? Honestly.

  2. These are like my favorite cookie! My brother used to work at Subway and I would give him money so he would bring me home these cookies at the end of his shifts! But if you haven’t tried the otis spunkmyer cookies, you’ve gotta. AMAZING!
