White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies

This is very easy to make and too eat, I have many recipes for making this kind of cookie but some of the too rich to enjoy (one of my recipe is very delicious but I can’t take more than one piece at a time). The cookie is good, not too rich and easy to enjoy. I add salt into the recipe because macadamia is more delicious with salt.

White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies

Makes about 12

125g	butter, softened
85 g	soft light brown sugar
1 teaspoon	vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon	salt
1	large egg yolk
150 g	Plain flour
75 g	White chocolate chopped
50 g	macadamia nuts

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

Beat together the butter and sugar until it is pale and creamy, either in an electric mixer or, if you are feeling energetic, by hand. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg yolk. Add the flour, white chocolate chunks and chopped nuts. Mix until you have a smooth dough, with the only lumps being the chocolate and nuts.

Using your hands, roll the dough into golf-sized balls and lightly press each one flat on to a greased baking sheet, making sure they are spread slightly apart.

Bake for 12 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before either eating or cooling completely on a wire rack.
