Summer calls for a different type of cookie. Well, actually any cookie is good all the time. But in the summer, I don’t like too much spice or strong flavors so these macadamia nut cookies are perfect. Almost light and island-like – maybe that’s wishful thinking – these cookies are my summer go-to. I can’t wait for you to fall in love with these cookies as much as I have!
These freeze very well and are extremely delicious!

My husband loves white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. However, I like Chocolate chip with walnuts. Alas, you don’t have a recipe for regular chocolate chips and walnuts.
If I substitute white chocolate and macadamia nut with regular chocolate chips and walnuts do I still need to add coconut?
Thanks so much for all your videos and recipes. I am a big fan and I tell all my friends!
