Hi from New Zealand. These were utterly delicious….my perfect texture as I only like crispy cookies! My chocolate & nuts didn’t quite come to a total of 2 cups…so I added about 1/2 a cup of ricies (rice krispies) which added a nice texture. I also put the macadamias in a food processor for a few seconds as I was too lazy to chop the nuts. The were quite finely chopped but I think they added to the final result. A rich, buttery taste!! Now I can’t wait to try your other crunchy cookies!! Thank you!
Do you use salted or unsalted butter in your recipe?
Thanks
Hi! Unsalted. But I always like to try the dough before I throw it in the oven. I’m a huge fan of salty-sweet treats. So if you’re feeling like a saltier treat after you taste. Throw in a smidge more salt after tasting 🙂
