These tasty drop cookies are a jumble of macadamias, white chocolate and raspberry jam.

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
8 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and beat in. Add vanilla and raspberry jam. Mix well. Mix together flour and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture to batter. Stir in nuts and chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets, about 2-inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Don't overbake. Cool on racks.

TERRY'S NOTES: These freeze well. Freeze on sheets until solid then transfer to zip-lock bags. I've made with semisweet chocolate chips, and, though not as pretty, are just fine!
