White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

A recipe that I modified after I found it in an old cook book. Its a bit heavy on the chips, and a little light on the nuts.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Yields: 48 cookies

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter, softened
• 2  eggs
• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 10 -12  ounces white chocolate chips
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped  macadamia nuts

Directions

1. Cream together the butter, sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Then add the baking soda and salt. Slowly add approx a 1/2 cup of flour at a time.
2. Finally stir in the chips and nuts.
3. Place mixture in the fridge for a half an hour. Meanwhile heat the oven to 375. (this step can be skipped and the oven can be pre-heated. however I've always had best results when the batter is cool).
4. You can either drop, or roll cookies into a 1 inch ball and place them on a ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
