An aunt and I baked a similar cookie often when I was growing up. Through the years, I added the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips. My family and co-workers rave about these. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts, toasted |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate and nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls. Dip each ball halfway in water, then in sugar. Place sugar side up 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly.
3. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.
