White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

I fell in love with white chocolate macadamia nut cookies when I discovered the joy of Subway’s version of the cookie.  I know, Subway isn’t exactly known for being a bakery but holy cow, their cookies are delicious! Since then, I have been hard at work trying to make an even better version of the cookies at home and I am so excited to be sharing this recipe because it is perfect!

These are nice, soft cookies that are filled with so much white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.  They are super easy to make and perfect as a simple dessert recipe any day of the week but I also plan on adding these cookies to my holiday cookie tray later this year.  The recipe makes about 18 cookies but you can always double it if you want more.
