White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

For Father's Day Easton and I made Rob these cookies- his favorite. I think they turned out fantastic and Rob liked them too. They were the right soft/crunchy balance. I probably added a bit more white chocolate chips and the macadamia nuts than the recipe called for but other than that I stayed true to the recipe. It was the first time I had ever made this kind of cookie and I think it's a keeper!
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) jar macadamia nuts, chopped
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the white chocolate and nuts. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. When cool, store in an airtight container.
