White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
"I got this recipe from the 30-day gourmet newsletter. I've already tried it and thought it was a great tasting cookie. They recommend real butter in this recipe but stated that half margarine and half butter flavored Crisco was an acceptable substitute. Macadamia nuts are expensive so I may try to substitute with another nut like English walnuts the next time I make this."

WAY TOO much flour! The cookies were soft, but not sweet. If I did this recipe again, it would definitely need major modifications. -
Very, very good. Easy to make. My husband loves these kind of cookies and I have finally made them for him. The kids liked them too, not to mention myself. -

I'm originally from Tennessee but moved to Louisiana when I married my husband. In addition to cooking I enjoy making quilts, sewing, reading, and gardening. I have an immense collection of cookbooks but find the majority of my recipes online. I like it that they are rated. I am the mother of three children. My son is now with the Lord. My two girls are grown and married. My youngest has two young children.
