Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted coconut oil. Mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the sugar and coconut oil mixture. Stir until everything is well integrated and smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the roughly chopped macadamia nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
