Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

I had made these kind of cookies previously, but lost the recipe. Sorry person who emailed me about that a while back. I looked everywhere and couldn't find where it ended up.
Anyway, while we were at Fleet Farm this morning for a jerky gun (more on that later), I stopped by their candy and nut section to see if anything leapt out at me. Adam spotted macadamia nuts and when I asked if he wanted me to make cookies since he had just finished off the cake in the fridge he immediately grabbed the chance. So, white chocolate macadamia nut it was. He found this recipe and I made it. At the same time that I was making dinner. Talent...
I haven't tried one yet - and probably won't. Neither white chocolate nor macadamia nuts are really my thing. But Adam likes them and he's my target audience, so I'm satisfied.
