Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup Chopped macadamia nuts
• 1 cup White chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
