Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
- 120 grams Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 100 grams White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips (if using) with a rubber spatula.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will set as the cookies cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your chewy coconut macadamia nut cookies!
