"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: 55mins
• Ingredients: 9
• 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.
