White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

This was my first attempt at Macadamia Nut cookies and they turned out really well.  I made them for my cabin neighbors and they brought back the empty container and said they weren't very good cookies, I better make some more.  Haha!  This is a very light and fluffy cookie that is good for dipping in milk.

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.
