Recipe: White Chocolate & Macadamia Cookies

In a world of fancy, dainty desserts and perfectly shaped macarons I think there’s something satisfying about a chunky, lopsided cookie. These are almost impossible to get wrong and can be as big or small as you like – they can even be more uniform in shape and size if that’s your style (clearly it’s not mine!). The combination of white chocolate and macadamia might not be earth shatteringly new, but it’s a classic for a reason. The mix of sweet white chocolate and a salty hit of macadamia is pretty perfect, and you can whip these up in under half an hour – perfect for that mid morning snack!

Despite the fact I’m not very confident with pastry (so I keep avoiding making it, thus remaining not confident making it!) this turned out really nicely and was a simple, delicious way to use a pile of apples.
