Creamy Lemon Macadamia Cookie Cookies.
You will need:
 2 cups all-purpose flour. |
| 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. |
| 1/4 teaspoon salt. |
| 1 cup light brown sugar, packed. |
| 1/2 cup white sugar. |
| 1/2 cup softened butter. |
| 4 oz. cream cheese, softened. |
| 1 large egg. |
| 2 teaspoons lemon extract. |
| 1 & 1/2 cups macadamia nuts. |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with wire whisk and set aside.
In a large bowl blend sugars well with an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add the butter and cream cheese, and mix to form a smooth paste. Add the egg and lemon extract, and beat at medium speed until light and soft. Scrape down the sides of bowl occasionally.
Add the flour mixture and macadamia nuts. Blend at low speed just until combined. Do not over mix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake 23-25 minutes. Transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool flat surface.
