Cherry White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

“The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”

Lamentations 3:25-26 NLT

If you love white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, you’re going to love this twist. These Cherry White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are soft, buttery, and bursting with cherry flavor. The dough is rich and chewy using coconut sugar and with creamy white chocolate chunks. The crunchy macadamia nuts and swirls of my homemade tart cherry jam for a sweet-tart surprise that perfectly balances the richness. They’re creative and different, but bakery-worthy and indulgent. Make these homemade comforts and enjoy them warm with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee.
