Recipe Hack: Mrs. Fields White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
How many of you like Mrs. Fields cookies? Of all their products, this is my favorite. This cookie is the object of my late-night cravings. Back when we didn't have Mrs. Fields in Manila, I used to buy a tin of freshly-baked cookies when we go on holiday to Hong Kong. When they opened shop in Manila, my shopping excursion would not be complete without buying one.
But times are hard and mall visits are limited. So I must make these cookies myself at home. They're very simple to make and the dough can be made ahead of time and frozen till needed.
It is best to underbake these cookies a bit. Or eat them warm from the oven for the best experience.
