White Chocolate Macadamia Nuts Cookies

After coming home from our honeymoon in Hawaii, Jared and I were going through a Macadamia Nut phase. We decided we wanted to make these cookies since white chocolate chips are one of my favorite cookie ingredients.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate chips

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
3) Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
4) Cool and serve!

Servings: 4 dozen

Jared loved them! We made them at his parent's house and left the extras with his mom....needless to say, he was sad when we did not have any at home.
