Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended
)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop out tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use a cookie scoop to make this step easier and more uniform.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they'll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. If you can resist, let them cool down a bit before digging in!
- Enjoy your tropical treat! These cookies are perfect with a glass of milk or your favorite tea.
Happy baking! I hope these Coconut Macadamia Nut Cookies bring a little taste of paradise to your kitchen. If you try them, let me know how they turn out!
