I made these cookies last night to give away in holiday gift baskets and they are soooo good. I should have added a little more than 1/4 of a teaspoon of the orange extract for a bit more of an orange flavor, but nonetheless the are still very good. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!

Wonderful! These taste so good they were gone in a blink of an eye. I did increase the orange extract to a generous teaspoon. I used a little over a cup of macadamia nuts which I roasted and salted because raw was all the store had. My only complaint - the recipe doesn't make enough! lol

Boy oh boy... these cookies are AWESOME ~ especially right out of the oven :) Love the texture and the orange flavor, white chocolate and macadamia nuts. These are a new keeper recipe for me, and I think I will make them for the next round of Operation Baking Gals (baking for our troops). I got 42 cookies out of my batch and I agree ~ PERFECT ANYTIME !!! Made for ZWT5 ~ AUSTRALIA BUSH TUCKER CHALLENGE !

Although I followed the recipe most of the time, I really enjoy the flavor of orange, so used a rounded tablespoon of the orange zest & a very sloppy & generous measure of the orange flavoring, all for a GREAT TASTING COOKIE! Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing it1 [Tagged, made & reviewed while in Australia with the ZWT5]
