These Tropical White Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to have you dreaming of the islands!
I am so excited to be participating in my second Cookie Swap! This year I get to be a co-host too! My partner this year is Brandie from Home Cooking Memories. This recipe for Tropical White Chocolate Chip Cookies will have you sing ‘Mele Kalikimaka’ and dreaming of palms trees instead of Christmas trees!
I love the play on flavors in these cookies! The white chocolate, macadamia nuts, coconut and dried pineapple taste amazing together! It certainly reminds me of our time in Hawaii.
