Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

 

Life is uncertain, but a cookie is a sure thing. 


Do you always get the White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut cookies when you go to Subway? If you can't get enough of those, I found a recipe for how to bake them at home. I found the recipe for the cookies here at Crazyforcrust.com. 

The cookies were easy to make. They aren't super-fast, since the dough needs to chill for a couple of hours. But no mixer is needed, just one bowl and a spoon. These cookies have crunchy macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips, and they're so satisfying. My husband and I ate a cookie warm, out of the oven, and they were the perfect thing to have after lunch.  

Last weekend, I bought a cute Mickey Mouse cookie jar at TJ Maxx. So I was a little inspired to bake some cookies to put in the jar. The cookies looked great in the jar, but they won't last long in there! 

Since I didn't make any adjustments to the recipe, you can go here for the original recipe. Happy baking and cookie eating!
