Irish Cream White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

This recipe is wonderful.  Friends were trying to sneak them out of my house.

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons Irish Cream liquor
• 3 cups cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, vanilla, and Irish Cream liquor.  Sift together flour, baking soda and salt and add to butter mixture.

Fold in walnuts and white chocolate chunks.  Drop by heaping tablespoons onto parchment-paper-covered cookie sheet 2-inches apart and bake for 11 to 13 minutes.  Cool on wire rack.

Makes 4 dozen large cookies.
