White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Again, here is that fabulous egg yolk! I swear this really must be the secret! I have tried a few of these white chocolate macadamia nut recipies and they usually call for brown sugar. I like that this recipie doesn't, typically the brown sugar over powers a bit too much for this type of cookie. Either way, this is a great recipie too. Can't wait to post a picture for you to see!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs, room temp
1 egg yolk, room temp
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounces white chocolate chips
6 ounce bag macadamia nuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the white chocolate and nuts. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes then transfer to wire racks. When cool, store in an airtight container.
