This is a unique cookie for sure, but it's definitely a delicious one! Made with white chocolate chips, these Macadamia nut cookies are sort of island-like in flavor! The creamy texture of the cookie is light and moist, which is just what you want!
Spread coconut on a small baking sheet and set in the oven. Shake and stir every two minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
1 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
12 tbsp (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup light brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Mix in egg and vanilla until well incorporated.
1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until no dry streaks remain.
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp kosher salt
Add chocolate chips, prepared coconut, and nuts. Mix or fold in.
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips, 1 cup toasted unsweetened coconut, ¾ cup chopped Macadamia nuts
Using a cookie scoop, drop cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake until slightly golden around the edges, 8-12 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool on pans for five minutes. Then remove to rack and cool completely.
