Maple Macademia Nut Cookies

This cookie is not too sweet, but very complex in flavor, thanks to the maple syrup.  Make it your own by adding white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips to the recipe.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Butter flavor shortening
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Maple syrup
1 Large egg
1 Large egg yok
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup AP flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Chopped, toasted macademia nuts

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.  In mixer bowl fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter, shortening, sugar and syrup until light and fluffy.  Add egg, egg yolk and extract. 

2.  Carefully mix in flour, baking soda and salt until just combined.  Add in nuts, mix until thoroughly dispersed. 

3.  Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, form 1 in balls on cookie sheet and lightly press down with palms of hands.  Bake for 10 minutes or just until the edges are set.  Allow to rest on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before moving to wire rack to cool.
