Cookie Time


I've decided a wise way to spend my time, would be to document my ongoing projects and share them with you all. Anyone who knows me well, knows how much I love to bake! So what better way to start my "New Years Blog" than with a new recipe for amazing cookies?!

One of my husband's favorite treats is white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I've never made them, but scoured the web and found an excellent version. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

1 C butter, softened
1 C granulated sugar
3/4 C light brown sugar, packed
2tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 C all purpose flour
1tsp baking soda
10 oz white chocolate chips
1C chopped macadamia nuts


Directions:
Heat oven to 375F. IN large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt with electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, beat well. Stir together flour & baking soda: gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. (Edges are golden brown and center is set). Cool slightly on cookie sheet, then move to wire tack to cool completely.
