Chocolate Fudge White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

So, as usual when I visit Chris or vice versa, I baked him a treat.  This time I made up a cookie and tweaked a close enough recipe.  The original can be found here: http://backtothecuttingboard.com/dessert/light-and-chewy-chocolate-cookies/.  But mine were white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts instead of peanut butter.  They were super tasty and not as fattening as some other cookies out there.  So eat up!  *sorry my pictures suck!*

What You'll Need:

• 5 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 large egg
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 3/4 uncooked regular oats
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or regular flour)
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• Dash of salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of macadamia nuts

1. First, Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

2. Beat together butter, sugar, cocoa, egg and vanilla.

3. In another bowl, stir together oats, flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

4. Add oat mixture to butter mixture, stirring just until blended.

Chop the macadamia nuts up a bit into reasonable sized pieces.

7. Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts.

6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheet lined with foil. Gently press them down before you place them in the oven.

7. Bake 9 minutes or until centers are almost done. Remove from oven and cool on pan 1 minute. 

8. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.

9. Enjoy! yes they look a little unappetizing, but they are soo good!
