These cookies that my friend Dee served at Mexican Train the other day were so good. The butter flavored Crisco that she used made them taste so good....so buttery. I asked her if they had a lot of butter in them because they were so good. She laughed and said, "Yeah, butter flavored Crisco." The white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and macadamia nuts are a perfect combination.
Thanks, Dee, for sharing the recipe with me for my blog. You have to give these a try. You won't be sorry.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter-flavored Crisco shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
6 oz (1 1/2 cups) dried cranberries
8-1/2 oz (1 1/2 cups) white chocolate chips
1 cup (4-1/2 oz) coarsely chopped, roasted, salted macadamia nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift flour, soda, salt. Set aside.
Cream shortening until fluffy. Add both sugars; beat until blended.
Beat in eggs one at at time; then vanilla.
Add dry ingredients; beat until just blended.
Stir in cranberries, chips and nuts.
Drop by heaping teaspoon onto parchment lined cookie sheets, 1- 1/2 inches apart.
Bake about 12-14 minutes until just golden.
These were terrific! I didn't have enough cranberries so I halved the recipe - turned out great! Thanks for the great recipe!
ReplyDeleteGlad they turned out well for you. I really liked them too. Was worth what I had to pay for the macadamia nuts. Thanks for letting me know.
