A Merkley Favorite!

Awww, cookies! We love them so much! If you do not know already, us Merkleys are huge fans of white chocolate, so it should be no surprise that white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are an absolute favorite dessert. We make these as often as possible and love all of the white chocolate – so good! Some of our favorite cookie recipes have white chocolate chunks—like Cookies and Cream Cookies, Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies, and especially this one.
