I came up with this recipe by accident one day when I wanted to make some cookies. I decided to use some ingredients already in my cupboard, and these were the delicious result. —Barbara Sepcich, Galt, California

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 jar (3-1/2 ounces) macadamia nuts, finely chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Additional confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in nuts (dough will be stiff); set aside.
For filling, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in nuts; cool slightly. Drop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Shape 1 teaspoon of dough around each piece of chocolate-nut mixture so it is completely covered. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° until lightly browned, 12-14 minutes. Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar; cool on wire racks.
