1 cup Butter
\n3\/4 cup Powdered sugar
\n1 teaspoon Vanilla
\n2 cups Sifted flour
\n3\/4 cup Chopped macadamia nuts
\n1 cup Milk chocolate chips, or 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
\n1-1\/2 teaspoons Vegetable shortening<\/p>\n
In large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually stir in flour until well blended. Stir in macadamia nuts.<\/p>\n
Place dough on wax paper and shape into a roll two inches in diameter.<\/p>\n
Wrap in paper and foil and chill at least two hours or overnight.<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.<\/p>\n
Cut roll into slices approx. 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch thick. Bake on non-greased baking sheet for 20 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Remove from oven; cool on wire rack.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in a small bowl melt chocolate chips (microwave works well) and stir in shortening. Mix well. Dip one end of each cookie into chocolate mixture and place on wax paper.<\/p>\n
Refrigerate cookies until chocolate hardens. Store in cool place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
