Ingredients

• ½ c. butter, softened
• ½ c. packed brown sugar
• ½ c. white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 1½ c. all-purpose flour
• ½ t. baking soda
• ¼ t. salt
• ¾ c. white chocolate chips
• ½ c. chopped macadamia nuts
• 1 c. dried cherries*

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars; use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugars together until fluffy and pale in color, 3-5 minutes. (This is very important to ensure soft, chewy cookies.) Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; use a wooden spoon to carefully stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, just until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips, dried cherries and macadamia nuts.
