There’s nothing like fresh-baked cookies (or even just the dough!) to make your day worth living, and this recipe for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies is pure deliciousness. Sure, you may think you’ve had good white chocolate macadamia nut cookies before, but you ain’t tried nothing yet.  Using vanilla and almond extract gives these cookies extra special flavor and they’re melt-in-your-mouth tasty.

I made them for my BF’s family (gotta try to impress them, right?) and they went absolutely nuts (tee hee) for them. They were actually trying to barter with one another for just one more cookie. If that’s not a good sign, I don’t know what is.

You may want to make a few extra if you plan on sharing them. Or prepare to break up some fist fights.
