Ingredients

1 stick salted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup candied cherries
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks or chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375. Grease 1 or more cookie sheets.

Using a mixer, cream the butter and both sugars in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until just combined. Set aside.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add the milk to the butter mixture and then the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. (The batter should be stiff.)

Combine the nuts, cherries and white chocolate in another bowl. Add the mixture to the batter, stirring until just blended. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these for Christmas, and everyone enjoyed them but they weren't memorable. They're tasty though, love the cherries so... I added about a cup of them. Definitely add some extra butter (the recipe is wrong!) Flatten the cookies out a bit before baking to have a nicer looking cookie (like the ones pictured here) but don't flatten too much or they bake extra thin and end up being a bit hard to bite into. Happy baking!Read more

These cookies are delicious and chewy! The dough is also a great base for other types of chips and nuts. I make these in... advance and freeze them for Christmas. They are awesome! Thanks Paula!!Read more
