Yum yum yum.....

I did promise some recipes my dears. And so here is my favorite cookie recipe of all times. I adore white chocolate, and macadamia's are so delicious when baked. Which is why white choc chip and macadamia nut cookies are my all time fave. Here is a great recipe that produces a crunchey yet moist cookie (best eaten within 10 minutes of being of the oven- oozy chocolatey goodness).

White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

1 cup butter, softened1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs2

1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoons baking soda

10 ounces white chocolate (chips or bars cut in chunks)

1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped into chunks

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 F. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt with electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, beat well. Stir together flour, and the baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture,beating until well blended. Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. (Edges are golden brown and center is set.) Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.

Soon to come is a lovely recipe, Lauren found in a cooking magazine, for gingerbread lads and lass'. I'm not such a fan of the ones that involve molasses, so this year i am making molasses free gingerbread.

I'll also post my brothers sickeningly sweet recipe for mars bar pie. He is very proud of his creation (which one bite of will clog your arteries and send you into heart failure), and hopefully someone out there has a big enough sweet tooth to enjoy it.
