So once upon a time we honeymooned in Maui and I ordered every single thing I could find that included macadamia nuts. Like every. single. thing….which caused pretty much an overdose on the darn things and I haven’t liked them since! Haha once in a rare rare blue moon I’ll eat one or two but then quickly remember the overdose and choose to eat something else.

With that being said, these cookies take me straight back to all the good tastes in Hawaii! These cookies have shot straight up to my number one on the list and I think I’ve eaten half the batch within the last two days…haha the coconut mixed with the white chocolate is straight from heaven!
