The season really got away from me this year. So, I needed to condense my baking list. Only the long time favorites made the cut this year. Of course the Christmas Sugar Cookies
made the list, along with My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, 3 Ingredient (Flourless) Peanut Butter Cookies,  Pecan Pie Bars and our newest candy addiction Crockpot Candy.

Even with all that, I had a craving for my Best Ever White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. There is just something about that combination that gets me every time. The sweetest white chocolate and buttery macadamia nuts. These are truly one of my 2 most favorite cookies. They are salty and sweet, crunchy and soft. I really can not get over these cookies and I know you are going to love them too.

How to cook Best Ever White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or electric mixer), combine butter, shortening and sugar. Beat on medium until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs, extracts and mix until combined.
3. With mixer on low, sprinkle the flour, baking soda and salt into the bowl. Mix until just combined (do not over mix). Add macadamia nuts and chips. Mix until well combined.
4. Using a 1 tablespoon scooper, drop onto cookie sheet (about 2 inches apart).
5. Bake 9-11 minutes (until barely golden brown around the edges) and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
6. Serve and enjoy.
