What better treat than a cookie which is buttery, chocolaty and nutty – all in one bite.
By Kankana Saxena
The very first time I ate macadamia nut cookies were from Subway Restaurant. Eventually, it became my favorite and now every-time we buy subs, we pick up a couple of those cookies. They are buttery, soft, a little chewy with crunchy bites in between.. yummmy!
This time I wanted to bake them at home. I didn’t chop the nuts too small, just in halves or quarters. And I used some chocolate chips, but you can use whatever you like. Or, skip the chocolate chips and let the nuts be the hero of the cookies.
This will make about 24 cookies (recipe adapted from here)
