White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookies

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This simple cookie is always well received, and if you are a fan of white chocolate, I suspect it will become a favorite of yours. I dropped off a batch of these for a bake sale today and they were gone before they made it to the table. I must add that I'm not baking this week and my contribution had been frozen several weeks ago in anticipation of the fundraiser. The cookies keep wonderfully well and only I knew they had come from the freezer. These cookies are easy to make and the macadamia nuts add wonderful texture to what would otherwise be a pillow soft cookie. The recipe I'm sharing with you comes from Taste of Home magazine, and while I'm presenting it to you in unaltered form, I must admit that when I bake these cookies for my family, I also add a teaspoon of lime zest to the mix. With or without the lime zest, I think you'll find this cookie to be a winner. Here is how they are made.

Treasure Cookies

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Back in the day, a bar cookie called a "Hello Dolly" was all the rage. I was going through my Adelle Davis-Gayelord Hauser period at the time, so I never made the cookie for my family. That, however, never prevented me from sampling them when they appeared on someone else's table. The cookies were packed with an assortment of chips, coconut and sweetened condensed milk, and those who liked "stuff" in their cookies loved them. When I found this recipe in Taste of Home magazine, the old "Hello Dolly" came to mind. These drop cookies are very similar, but they are not quite clones. This is a moist, sweet confection that's packed with everything that's awful for you, so I know you're going to love them. They are simple to make, keep extraordinarily well and even I, who am not fond of sweet things, have to admit they are delicious. Here is how they are made.
