white chocolate & macadamia nut cookies

I love Sundays.

It's a day of rest in our home.

We attend church . . . snuggle and nap . . . watch movies . . . play games . . . and take a break from our weekly routines.

One of my favorite Sunday afternoon activities is baking cookies. We enjoy them right out of the oven, even if it happens to be right before dinner.  It's a Sunday tradition that I hope our kids remember into their adulthood.

My recipe for Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies is a favorite Sunday bake, but I thought I would make something extra special over the weekend, since Valentine's Day is just days away . . . and white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies are one of my sweetheart's favorite cookies. 

We enjoyed them right out of the oven with milk and Valentine inspired paper straws. 

This recipe bakes up 72 yummy, golden, soft, and chewy cookies!
