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.

Phil would love these! White chocolate and macadamia are both his favorites.
These sound delicious, Mary. And, I love the idea of the lime zest.
I will be pinning this to make with my grandson.
