You might remember that a while back I took advantage of the great deal on chocolate covered macadamia nuts at Walgreens. Well, I have used regular macadamia nuts with white chocolate chips to make cookies and had thought about using some of these chocolate covered ones for the same purpose.
Low and behold...one of my favorite blogs beat me to it! You can click here to see what I mean.
(You will love her blog by the way, it is fascinating. She starts the year with an $800.00 budget for herself and 3 girls. This $800.00 is her total budget for all food, toiletries, dining out, and more. She is far superior to me when it comes to obtaining coupons and getting the big deals.)
Anyway, back to the cookies. I decided to go ahead and instead of using her recipe, I just used my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe. They are amazing if I may say so myself. I also made some of my husband's favorite "chocolate chip cookies, without the chocolate chips". Basically, we call them a brown sugar cookie and he loves them. I just make a few cookie sheets full of these before adding the chips. They are pictured as well.
I still have at least 5 more bags of the macadamia nuts, so we can have yummy cookies again and again. These cost just 50 cents a bag, which are much cheaper than even the cheapest chocolate chips, and so much more yummy!
