Hi...I'm Alisha and I'm a Paula Deen Junkie...

I admit it...I love Paula Deen. I watch her shows, buy her cook books and even try to make recipes out of those cookbooks (gasp!) Sometimes they don't turn out quite like they look on TV or in the book (double gasp!). Go figure...the time has come to admit...I can't cook like Paula Deen...I'm crushed. BUT...I refuse to give up...so I am going to try to make these tomorrow:
Paula Deen's White Chocolate Cherry Chunkies
Ingredients:
1 stick(s) (8 Tbsp. unsalted) butter, softened
1 cup(s) (packed) brown sugar
1 cup(s) (granulated) sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
3 cup(s) flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) milk
1 cup(s) (chopped) macadamia nuts
1/2 cup(s) (candied ) cherries, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cup(s) white chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, with electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until just combined. Set aside.
3. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt in separate bowl. With mixer on low speed, add milk to the butter mixture, then add the flour mixture. Beat until just combined (batter should be stiff).
4. In another bowl, combine nuts, cherries and white chocolate chunks. Stir into batter with wooden spoon just until blended. Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 11 to 13 minutes, or until golden, then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.
