Flashback Friday ~ Macadamia Nut Cookies

Flashback Friday brings us back to a recipe that I pulled out a few weeks ago. My little boys asked to bake their favorite chocolate chip cookies. So I pulled out my 'my no fail recipe' on my Ipad from MGCC and noticed the recipe needed up dating. They were surprised to see their photos from when they were younger. These cookies are a must for any school lunches, or a ski day in winter.

 Ingredients

•  1 cup butter
• 2 eggs
•  1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (substitute milk chocolate)
• 1 cup Macadamia nuts or you can substitute almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 °
2. Cream butter with eggs and sugar
3. Add the salt, and baking soda.  Mix well
4. Add oatmeal, chips and nuts. Stir well.
5. Add remaining flour.  
6. Scoop cookies on pan.  ( I use a small ice-cream scoop)
7. Do not flatten them. 
8. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
9. When they come out of the oven, let the pan drop (6 inches) on the counter top or a flat surface. This is called the slapping method, which allows them to flatten naturally.
