White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Recipe from Mauna Loa
Makes 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
6 T butter, softened
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 cups (12 oz pkg) white chocolate chips
1/2 cup macadamia nut pieces
Directions:
1) Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Beat butter and shortening in large bowl until well blended. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat thoroughly. Add egg and vanilla, beating until well blended. Gradually beat in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheet.
3) Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are so soft and chewy with the perfect amount of sweetness from the chocolate chips and a great crunch from the macadamia nuts. If you've never tried these before, you should bake up a batch right now! I think you'll be hooked from the first bite.
If you'll remember, the fun of this series is that each blogger gets to tag the next person to post her recipe. So my job is to tag Sue from The Little Acre That Could for her cookie recipe tomorrow. Sue, you're it!

ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, Thanks for your comment. We live in the shadow of the Rocky mountains here in Alberta, Canada. So the weather is good one day and the next it is snowing and blowing. Today the temp is +2C and tomorrow the temp will -19C. We are used to this and our saying here is if it is bad weather today then wait a few minutes and it will be better. The winter here last's till April. So you can see that there are quite a few months before the weather warms up for us. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
