Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts, lightly toasted and chopped
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
