White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bread
Who doesn’t love White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies? You know those cookies that are so delicious that when a plate of freshly baked cookies are sitting in front of you, you can’t help to grab more than one (even if you try to resist). I love White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies but I don’t bake them often so when I was day dreaming about these chewy and delicious cookies one day I thought to myself why not try doing it a little different and baking it as a bread (since we know I have had my share of bread recipes lately).
This is a simple and delicious bread and the white chocolate drizzled on top, oh my!

Hi, my question is the shortening. Are you suggesting Cristco or real lard?
Thanks Dee
