I was in Hawaii recently for a spring break vacation with my family. It was full of relaxing times and great food! Unlike other people out there, I actually like to rent a condo or house on vacations so I can cook many of our own meals. That’s what we did this time. Friends thought we were crazy. Cooking is relaxing to me, and I was very happy to be able to cook (and bake) with local ingredients.
Macadamia nuts are so abundant in Hawaii… and I’ve always loved a good white chocolate macadamia nut cookie… so I gathered the ingredients and made one of my favorite cookies!
This was the view I had from my kitchen in Maui… so it really didn’t feel like work at all. Breathtaking, isn’t it??
I was a little nervous using an oven that wasn’t mine to try and bake cookies, but they ended up turning out perfect! They were crispy and delicious. Macadamia nuts and white chocolate are meant to be together!
