"Today we will live in the moment, unless it's unpleasant, in which case me will eat a cookie."
-Cookie Monster
Yesterday, I really wanted cookies, chocolate chip cookies to be exact. I don't know if it was the fall weather or Halloween being around the corner. I decided to get in the kitchen and bake. It's not something I do often. I have to admit... I cook better than I bake... But I had to do it. When I get an urge, it has to be done. Well, I'm glad to say it was a success! Today, I am eating cookies. Follow your dreams. This recipe made me so happy! My favorite cookie is a white chocolate and Macadamia nut cookie. These cookies are sweet with hints of saltiness from the Macadamia nuts. They are just perfect!

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar

8 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup salted roasted macadamia nuts

Scoop golf ball sized pieces of the dough and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
