Pineapple White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

Pineaapple White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies (1) 

White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies have always been one of my absolute favorites but for unknown reasons I never bake them myself.  Crazy I tell you. I guarantee it’s the cookie(s) I’d choose if I was picking out a cookie at a bakery though. I love to bake and yet I had never baked a favorite!?! Maybe I’m subconsciously afraid mine won’t be as good? Can anybody else relate?

Well, we finally decided to try white chocolate macadamia cookies at home and added dried pineapple too. We LOVE LOVE the tropical element this added, but of course you can skip the pineapple if you want to make a big mistake. 😉

The cookies were ah-mazing! It’s dangerous that I now know I can bake delicious white chocolate macadamia cookies at home! Who needs a bakery? #gainingtenpounds

Kara brought these Pineapple White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies to a friends house and they were well received. Luckily, I stole a handful and brought them home in a ziploc bag. They didn’t even last a day.
