White Chocolate Coconut-Cashew Cookies

I know, I know, you’re probably thinking another cookie recipe? And my answer would be YES, another cookie recipe!  And you’re going to want this recipe, trust me.

I’ve decided that I need to stop declaring a cookie “my favorite cookie” because as soon as I do that, I find yet again, another “favorite cookie recipe.”  So I’m just going to to tell you that these cookies are pretty darn fabulous and if you’re not a fan of coconut or cashews, then I’m really, really sorry because these cookies rock.

To set the record straight, I’m not usually one who likes nuts in their cookies, but it totally works this time.  I have nothing  against nuts, I love them all, but I usually prefer my cookies to be nutless. . . unless it’s a white chocolate macadamia cookie :).  And now of course, I’ll be ok with nuts in my cookies if it’s a white chocolate coconut-cashew cookie.
