I still can’t believe we gave up ice cream for Lent this year. We must have lost our minds 30-something days ago. While we have tried to not replace those almost nightly ice cream calories with other sweets, we finally broke down this week to make one of our fav Spring/Summer cookie combos — toasted coconut & lime white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
You seriously can’t go wrong with these. They are such a tasty tropical twist on a classic cookie. Even if you’re not a coconut fan, you should give these a try. The toasted coconut really gives the cookies the perfect texture and just a hint of extra flavor.
We’ve actually made these cookies 3 or 4 times, but they have never lasted long enough to photograph them They are that good! Make a batch of these today and just watch them disappear. They’re magical.
