Because that's not going to happen anytime soon and to be a little more consistent with reality, I decided to make some cookies with macademia nuts instead. It's the best we can do at this point and they were quite delicious! Plus I needed something to practice taking pictures on. Food was the clear choice.
Here come the macademia nuts...
... and voila! The cookies! (In two different lights... sorry, I'm still trying to fully grasp the whole camera thing. It's been an adventure!)
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies- The Crepes of Wrath
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (chopped, if needed) macadamia nuts
2 cups white chocolate chips
Turbinado sugar (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
2. Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the egg, then beat in the egg yolk, then beat in the vanilla.
3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just moistened. Stir in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips by hand.
4. Roll into balls or drop by spoonfuls onto a greased and/or lined baking sheet, and press down on the cookies with your palm a bit to flatten (not too much!). Sprinkle with Turbinado sugar if desired.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown. Remember that they need to cool on the baking sheet, so even if they don’t look quite set, it’s okay because they continue to cook after you remove them from the oven. Allow to finish cooling on a rack or on a different surface. Makes about 15-20 cookies.
Enjoy!
