I decided to post the recipe for Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies for the weekend since I'm going to the Beach, but yesterday Caron at Caron's Beach House/Everything Coastal posted a recipe for a very similar cookie. Her recipe is great, too, so here's a link to her recipe for Island Cookies. Her cookies include coconut and white chocolate chips. Different measurements, so why not try both this weekend? Funny how 'fine minds' think alike! :-). There's always room for one more chocolate chip cookie!
Chocolate Chip Macadamia Cookies
1/2 cup sweet butter, softened
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure Madagascar vanilla
1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1 1/4 cups semisweet or white chocolate chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly grease 2 large cookie sheets.
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually blend into the batter.
Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, and transfer the cookies to cooling racks.
you are just too nice! Thanks Janet
