White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies


Exciting weekend around here...we received a FIVE PAGE letter from Elder Brown and a camera memory card.  PHOTOS!!.  Oh, happy day!!  One of the things that he asked for was his winter things.  Matt is a big time snowboarder so he has lots of cold weather gear and it seems that the temperature is dropping in Seattle and he's getting a bit chilly on a bike so during General Conference I whipped up this family favorite.  Double batch.  Some for him and his companion and some for us 'cause what's Conference without treats?  Good thing it only comes around twice a year...
White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies
3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs. milk
1 Tbs. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Heat oven to 375 F.  Combine Crisco, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla.  Beat egg into creamed mixture.  Combine flour, salt and baking soda into mixture.  Add nuts and white chocolate chips.  Bake for 8 minutes.  Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.
