Blue Diamond Nut Thin Confetti Cake Cookies

Have you all tried Blue Diamond’s Nut Thins?  They’re pretty delicious.  I was lucky enough to receive samples of the Almond Nut thins, Pecan Nut Thins, Smokehouse, and Cheddar Cheese.
My favorite were the Cheddar Cheese and the Pecan.  I just love the flavor of pecan and I really love cheddar cheese.  I really love these nut thins because they’re like a hybrid of chips and crackers so you can dip them in any dip… cheese dip, cracker dip, anything!  They kind of have a tortilla chip taste, but also cracker-y at the same time.
Anyway, when I received the nut thins, I promised I would come up with a recipe.  You don’t usually associate crackers/chips and dessert, but really all it is is a sweet and salty combination.  Which is why I put these in cookies and it tasted delicious.  I made mine pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.
