I got these macadamia nuts from Oh Nuts! months ago and still haven't used all of them (remember this post?). SO I decided to make one of my all-time favorite cookies, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. This recipe was so incredibly good. After they first came out of the oven, they tasted just like a store bought cookie. I even froze some then would occasionally stick one in the microwave for about 25 seconds to soften it up and it still tasted just as good. I sorta wish I had some right now...should have frozen more.
Recipe discovered here
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (not margarine! Cookies will turn out to be more "cake-like" with margarine)
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
10 ounces white chocolate (chips or bars cut in chunks)
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped into chunks
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 F. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt with electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, beat well. Stir together flour, and the 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 to 10 minutes or until set. (Edges are golden brown and center is set.) Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
I've been longing for anything with macadamia nuts in it since we went to Hawaii in February, and I tasted dark chocolate covered ones. Thanks also for the source of the nuts.
