For some reason, sugar cookies make me think of Spring. Maybe because they’re light, sweet, and I could eat about seven. Alright. So that last thing has no coloration to Spring, but I can eat my own weight in sugar cookies.

So imagine my delight when I saw a recipe for them that was simple enough to do in a dorm kitchen!

What You Need:

* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Read More »

There’s nothing like fresh-baked cookies (or even just the dough!) to make your day worth living, and this recipe for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies is pure deliciousness. Sure, you may think you’ve had good white chocolate macadamia nut cookies before, but you ain’t tried nothing yet.  Using vanilla and almond extract gives these cookies extra special flavor and they’re melt-in-your-mouth tasty.

I made them for my BF’s family (gotta try to impress them, right?) and they went absolutely nuts (tee hee) for them. They were actually trying to barter with one another for just one more cookie. If that’s not a good sign, I don’t know what is.

You may want to make a few extra if you plan on sharing them. Or prepare to break up some fist fights.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (about 1 jar) coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips Read More »
