Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 c ap flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c butter - softened
1 c light brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding mix - small size - 6 servings
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/4 c diced salted macadamia nuts (or salted pecans)
1 1/2 c dried craisins
1 c white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375
  • 2. Combine flour and baking soda in small bowl and seet aside
  • 3. Mix butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add granulated and sugar and blend well. Add pudding mix and blend thoroughly.
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
  • 5. Gradually add flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • 6. Stir in nuts, craisins and chocolate chips.
  • 7. Drop by teaspoonful (for small cookies) or Tablespoonful (for large cookies) onto ungreased cookie sheet setting them about 2" apart to allow for spreading.
  • 8. Bake for 8 - 12 minutes depending on the size you chose. Cool and enjoy !
  • 9. NOTES: I have found that the instant vanilla flavor works best. Using other flavors I found the cookies to be a bit dry. If you want a chocolate flavor dough I would add a bit of cocoa to the mixture. I prefer salted nuts as they add a nice dimension to the finished product. I use macadamia nuts for their unique flavor and crunch, but pecans are very tasty also. I love dried cranberries in this recipe, however, I did make them one time with dried cherries and they were delicious! Feel free to exchange the craisins for cherries or apricots or whatever floats your boat ! The chips can be semi-sweet, milk chocolate or white chocolate - it's all a matter of preference.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. They're a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for people who like sweet cookies.

These cookies are a bit pricey to make. The macadamia nuts and cranberries are both expensive ingredients.

I had some trouble finding macadamia nuts at my local grocery store. I ended up using chopped walnuts instead.

The cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I think I overcooked them a bit.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
