White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

I must be in the mood for cookies because here I am posting about more cookies. I have always wanted to make white Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. I love them. I have never made them before, so I didn't have a recipe or really know anyone with one that they liked. So I turned to the trusty old internet and found one on Allrecipes.com. There were alot to chose from on there, but I chose the one that sounded the best. And I was right, they were good.



Cream together:
1 Cup butter, softened
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
