I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Big pinch salt
White chocolate chips (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup)
6 oz. macadamia nuts

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, flour, soda and salt. Stir in chips and nuts. Drop by tablespoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. For chocolate chip cookies, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips for the white chocolate and walnuts or pecans for the macadamia nuts. Makes 2 dozen large cookies.

These are great cookies. They were made for the Legal Biddies by our favorite waiter and friend, Bob Schelhorn, who we followed around from restaurant to restaurant for Thursday lunches for years and years.
