Anne makes these cookies each holiday season, and they’ve gained quite the following. Among those in love with these cookies is Anne’s personal trainer–a five foot nothing package of fierce. Seems everyone has their vice! It’s understandable…these cookies are a great balance of sweet, tart and rich. Each bite delivers salty, roasted macadamias with tart-sweet cherries alongside smooth, buttery white chocolate. Such a decadent combo. And they make a lovely presentation…great for gift giving!
