It's time for Recipe Friday!

                   White Choc Chip/ Macadmian Nut Cookies

Stella: These are my all time favorite cookies... There might be a better recipe out there than this one, but these always taste so good I don't try to change it. I just follow the basic Toll House chocolate chip recipe (which is NOT on the bag for white choc chips pictured here.)

You will need:

1 bag white chocolate chips

2 bags Macadamian nuts- CHOPPED (I prefer 2 bags, but you could get by with just 1)

1 stick softened butter

1/2 cup crisco

1 cup sugar (I think it's supposed to be 3/4 cup but I always do 1 cup)

1 cup brown sugar (Same here. So much for measuring.)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Now here's the kicker. You gotta get that butter nice & soft! Which means sticking it out on the counter for awhile or microwaving it in 5 sec increments, which I do not like doing for fear of getting it too soft.

Blend the butter & crisco together like so. Then add your sugars, eggs, vanilla, flour etc etc. You guys know how to pour things into a bowl by now so I didn't photograph these simple steps.

Here I have chopped up the bags of macadamian nuts.

Add the chips & nuts to the cookie batter.

Drop on to foil lined cookie sheet & bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes.

They will look puffy and almost gooey still when you take them out after 8-9 min. But don't worry- they are done!!!

And there you have it, my friends.

Deliciousness.
