Let’s talk about childhood memories, and what makes you remember your childhood more than cookies??
Growing up I was absolutely obsessed with anything white chocolate, anything macadamia, and anything cookies. I present to you, my favorite cookie in the world: the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
What is better for you than something warm, soft, buttery, and sweet? These cookies with a warm or cold glass of milk will make you so happy in your soul, this recipe gave me such pleasure to curate (because I intend to make them weekly. Cookie jar, I am coming for you).
Also, let’s talk about food photography for like, half a second. This was one of my first shoots ever!! Can you believe? I splurged and got my dream camera body, the Canon 6D Mark III, and paired with my current favorite camera lens, the 24-70mm, I got these amazing stunning shots.

- Place 12 balls of cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet(s). Bake 11-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
