White Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Nut Cookies

white-chocolate4 WHITE CHOCOLATE COCONUT MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

As the weather turns cold, I turn from grilling outdoors, making simple meals and light cooking. I crank up the oven, pull up my sleeves and get my baking mojo on. One of my favorite things to do is bake cookies. Each year it’s a new challenge to come up with that special cookie everyone will enjoy. As I was flipping through my cookbooks and searching the web I came across the Betty Crocker White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie; the perfect cookie to riff off of.  …

25 days of Christmas Cookies: Day 23 – Chocolate and Vanilla Cake Balls

December 22, 2013 by Shari Eckstrom Leave a Comment

There’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate.  ~Linda Grayson, “The Pickwick Papers”

We had one of our several Christmas dinners last night with the family. This year I prepared the dinner and asked everyone else to bring dessert. My husband’s oldest daughter brought Chocolate and Vanilla Cake Balls after hearing that her father had never had the pleasure of tasting a cake ball.  They were delicious, and the recipe is so simple and easy, I had to feature them in today’s post for a last minute quick treat to throw together for Christmas.

25 days of Christmas Cookies: Day 18 – Black and White Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies

December 17, 2013 by Shari Eckstrom Leave a Comment

Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve. Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age. ~Terri Guillemets

My husbands favorite cookie is a black and white shortbread he buys at Costco every so often as a special treat. So, his request for one of my 25 Days of Christmas Cookies post was to duplicate these beautiful and tasty gems. The recipe I chose  was from Ina Garten and the Food Network. 

I adapted the recipe just a bit by exchanging the vanilla extract for Frangelico (a hazelnut Liquor), that adds a subtle hazelnut flavor to the cookie.

Black and White Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies are buttery and flaky with just a touch of sweetness. A dark bittersweet chocolate adds the perfect finishing touch .

25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 13 – White Chocolate and Coconut Sandwich Cookies

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.  ~Harlan Miller

Today marks the halfway point of 25 Days of Christmas Cookies. The intention, when I first came up with the idea of Holiday Cookies, was simply to introduce others to my blog site by enticing them with a plethora of delicious cookie recipes. The exposure has been wonderful, but I have found that something greater has occurred in the process. In actively engaging with others, hearing their stories, and baking favorites, I have found a Christmas spirit I haven’t experienced for quite some time. Perhaps it is not the expensive store bought gifts that are given with little thought that is important, but time spent in engaging, hearing and giving of one’s time and talent that  makes the difference after all.

White Chocolate and Coconut Sandwich Cookies feature delicious coconut crunch cookies with a luscious white chocolate sandwiched in between. Absolutely lip-smacking delicious.
