Double Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract (optional)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream togethre the butter and shortening until smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugar and beat until well blended. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and chocolate extract until smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, press the cookies to flatten them into disks. These will not spread much. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until just set (they will look slightly puffy and underdone). Remove cookies from the oven and let cool for several minutes on the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 40 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
