White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

The love I have for these cookies cannot be expressed with words. My love for these little pieces of heaven almost broke me out of a relationship…

I was dieting for a fitness show, and had given up all foods with carbohydrates, calories and taste. Unfortunately, the precious cookie fell under the “restricted” category. The boyfriend, at the time, took me to the mall to help him pick out some clothes during my limited time away from a treadmill. While traveling between clothing stores, we passed by the glorious Mrs. Fields…yummm…I had to stop to appreciate the aroma surrounding its glass case of goodies. At that time, the boyfriend had a moment of brilliance and went up and purchased one of my favorite cookies for himself to enjoy and for me to watch him enjoy. Now I don’t know if you as a reader have ever been on a calorie-restrictive diet, with your calorie expenditure being greater than your intake…but if you have, you know that after a few days, this will make you crazy!

The first bite he took into the cookie, I was thinking, “there is no way this is happening.” Second bite, “oh my gosh, this isn’t a dream, that is really my favorite cookie he is eating.” Third bite, “This a– has the audacity to eat my favorite cookie in front of me….aaaaaahhhhh.” The remaining bites become blurry as I half-way yell at him about his choices and all the way start balling in the middle of the mall. Moral of the story, never help your man shop for clothes, it will end in tears…
