Could anyone suggest a holiday cookie good enough to win a contest?

#3 cups flour
#2 cups sugar
#1 tsp salt
#2 tsp baking soda
#1/2 cup cocoa powder (I use dark chocolate powder so the chocolate taste is stronger)
#3/4 cup vegetable oil
#2 Tbsp vinegar
#2 tsp vanilla (the real vanilla extract is the only way to go with these)
#1 12 oz bag of white chocolate chips
#1 cup broken macadamian nuts
#1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting prior to baking (optional)
Mix the dry ingredients together and make a well in the center. Add the liquids and stir until well mixed. Add the nuts and white chocolate. Form into balls and roll in the powdered sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. These come out of the oven soft and remain chewy when cooled.
The best way to test the baking time is to make the dough, bake one cookie for 8 minutes and check the texture when it is cooled. Decrease or increase the baking time as desired.
My aunt does not like the powdered sugar on them and just drops them on the cookie sheet.
What is the contest for, if you don't mind me asking.

These are really sweet and perfect for Christmas, since orange slices are a traditional holiday candy. Plus they are something different.

We always just called them white chocolate macadamian. My grandmother made them for years and then my mother and now me. Judging from the way the kids eat them when they are made, I am sure they will be making these cookies someday too.
What kind of cookies are these?
