As I said that we always have a jar (or 2) of cookies on the kitchen counter ^^, and the flavor that my mom loves most is coffee.
Today, the recipe that I will share with you is a coffee-flavored cookie but it's special than before as it comes with white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
So, I called it "Café au lait cookies" as it has sweetness and richness from chocolate and nuts. It's an icebox cookie recipe, well I love this kind of cookie because we can keep it in the fridge and bake it when we want to eat it. You can keep it for a month, just remember to cover it tightly to prevent the cookie dough from freezer burn.
It's easy to make, but you have to chop both chocolate and nut finely, as the large pieces of them can make the cutting more difficult.
