White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies



These were so yummy! These are Mario's favorite cookies and I have always just bought them, but these were so easy and delicious I will never buy premade again.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
7 ounces macadamia nuts, chopped
(I added a little almond extract)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
2. Beat butter and shortening until soft and creamy. Gradually add the sugars and beat well.
3. Add egg and vanilla and beat well.
4. Combine flour, soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture beating well after each addition. Stir in chips and nuts.
5. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until done. Remove to wire racks to cool.
