White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Are you drooling yet??? 

I will give you a minute to really get a good look at these delightfully calorific temptations.

I know, I know.

My food photography leaves a lot to be desired. 

I was tired….

we helped some friends move over the weekend and by the time we got home and I remembered promising my hubby I would bake him his favorite cookie I was beyond cognitive thinking.

Much less artful photography of my cookies..

in bad light.

So I promptly gave up and dug in.

I nearly made the fresh hot cookies my dinner but I stopped at one…

at least until after dinner. 

I am including the recipe just so you can enjoy their deliciousness as well..

I am good that way.

Now I won’t gain ten pounds alone.

They tasted even better today.  I must’ve been the rain, and more rain today…

I have one thing to say…”where is summer?”
