Recipe: White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

Now before you keep reading, I must warn you.

These cookies are addictive. 

Yes, yes I know that everyone uses that line to when a particular recipe is really not as good as it hyped out to be and you get your hopes up and subsequently get disappointed just like when a boy who tells you that he loves you and then dumps you three weeks before your final exams...

But I digress.

These cookies however, would not disappoint. If anything, they should be made in huge amounts and kept for emergency situations. Think PMS or the impending end of the world. These cookies are sweet and comforting but most importantly chewy.

I like my cookies chewy. And they are chewy because they have brown sugar in it. But if you swing the other way and like them hard, you can just replace the brown sugar with equal amounts of white BUT I WILL JUDGE YOU.

Now please don't ask me if these tastes like the ones you get from Subway for RM 2.50. You'd be disappointed to know that they don't.

They are better.
