| By the way, you should know going into this that macadamia nuts are a lil' pricey. To me the splurge was worth it, but I wish I'd know about it ahead of time. |
My Rating: 4/5 "Have I mentioned that I adore white chocolate? And combinations of sweet and salty? These cookies are full of both of those flavors, and it's pretty damn wonderful. The only suggestion is have is that blending the white chocolate into the dough almost makes these TOO sweet - although richness is always a matter of taste. But in the end? Yum. Definite yum."
