My cookie making mode went into full swing last week.  I mean Hubby decided that  I had visions of opening up a cookie food truck.   He got excited about the possibilities of the extra income.  (He gets delirious that way sometimes.)

Except I don’t have a truck.  Food truck or otherwise.  And I don’t plan to get one.

 

I do that sometimes.  Go on streaks of one thing or the other.  It was ice cream (aka my sorta’ TV  debut moment).  It was cupcakes and cakes awhile back.  And I don’t really consider myself a baker.  I’m just a “cooker” – Jenny Marrs
would be so proud of me for using her term  —  and I enjoy being one.  (Insert inside joke.)

 

I also do this little thing with Arkansas Women Bloggers called Foodie Friday, both on a weekly basis each Friday and for the annual conference.
  Actually (Perfect Boy loves, loves that word!), this is my first year to do that.  Anyway, that is coming up soon – September 6-8 to be exact. 

 


If you’re an Arkansas woman and you have a blog, you really need to join up with #ARWB.  It’s free.  It’s awesome.  (Okay.  Overused adjective guilt.).  Seriously (another of PB’s terms), I have learned so much about blogging from our members.  Plus, it is such a rush getting to know women from all over the state from such a myriad of backgrounds.  We all come from different places in our lives, but we come together.  Yep.  Definitely go check it out today.

 

While you’re there, you can learn a little bit more about me.  Or about Julie.  Or about Stephanie who has masterminded this whole business.

 
And if you’re in Alabama, or Texas, or Oklahoma, or Mississippi, or Kansas – well you need to check out the sistahs (Stephanie’s term) in those states.  You’ll be glad you did.

 
Plus, if you’re at #AWBU in September, you might just get a taste of one of these little jewels.  Shhh.  Don’t tell anyone.  It’s a secret.

 

 

White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

 

Makes approximately 6 dozen

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounce package white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add eggs and extracts; beat well.  Sift together flour, soda and salt; blend into sugar mixture.  Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. 

While not absolutely essential, I like to thoroughly chill the cookie dough prior to baking.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake 10 – 12 minutes until just brown around the edges.  Allow to cool in pan 1 –2 minutes prior to moving to a wire rack to complete the cooling.

 Warning:  DO NOT KEEP THESE TO YOURSELF.  Unless you want to open your own cookie food truck.  Just don’t tell Hubby that you did that.  Okay?
