White Choc Cashew Cookies_optMariel here. I’ll keep this one short and sweet, in part because cookies really sell themselves. I intended to make classic White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies for our playgroup cookie exchange, but my local grocery store loves to keep us guessing when it comes to what they stock their shelves with. So sadly, there was nary a macadamia on the shelves. Cashews subbed in beautifully though, adding that perfect touch of salt and a satisfying crunch to offset the chewiness of the cookie. I highly recommend leaving a plate of these for Santa… In fact, our own resident Santa has already eaten all of the frozen leftovers I was saving for his December 24th debut. Perfect.

    These look perfectly chewy and delicious – I can see why Santa has eaten them all before the big day! 😉
