Yep - nothing to do with sewing, but brings me a great deal of joy nonetheless :). White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cranberry Cookies - say that 3 times real fast :P.
I've been making a variation of this recipe from Allrecipes for a few years now but this is the first year I made it for my boys (3.5 and 1.5 and ready for home made cookies). There's a lot of recipes out there for something like this and it's a very good alternative to the usual chocolate chip or oatmeal-raisin.
Recruit your little helpers and gather up your incredients:
Don't mind the mix-match containers and bags - I like to buy in bulk. A lot of people think buying in bulk means buying A LOT of the same item, but a lot of time I buy bulk to get the EXACT measurement of an ingredient I need. This avoids any extras of an ingredient that I don't usually cook with - in this case macadamia nuts - 1 Cup Exactly. Places like Whole Foods even have measuring cups for you to use.
Key components: chopped macadamia cuts, white chocolate chip and cranberries. Haha - about 10% of the white chocolate chip, and 20% of the cranberries went in the tummy of my 3 year old before it even got a chance to get mixed into the cookie dough :).
I really like the colors of the ingredients - especially the deep red color of the cranberries.
Mix in ingredients per instructions - don't mind those little hands going for the batter! Don't worry this batch stayed within the family ;).
Spoon it into a parchment lined cookie sheet - super easy cleanup - and put it in the oven:
Results - beautiful, delicious and healthy-er cookies for the little ones: haha yes if you count the cranberries and nuts it is a healthier alternative :P.
Enjoy! Promise to go into my sewing room in the near future. 12 Weeks of Christmas will resume soon.
