Another winner from the 2008 St. Petersburg Times Cookie Challenge. We are big fans of the macadamia nuts and it elevates this cookie to extra special Christmas status. Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter |
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked |
1 (3 1/2-ounce) jar macadamia nuts, chopped |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until soft and creamy; gradually add 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, beating well.
2. Add vanilla and flour, mixing well.
3. Stir in oats and chopped nuts.
4. Shape into 1-inch balls.
5. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
