There is nothing like to smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven. It makes everyone head for the kitchen to see whats cookin'. These cookies were to die for. Wonderful chunks of yummy white chocolate. The cookies were soft and chewy. Thanks Caryn.

Best cookies ever. Made them without eggs and they are still amazing. You can add dried cranberries too.

I was just about to add this recipe on myself. It is the best cookie recipe I have tasted. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I substitute macadamias instead of pecans.
