Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut, sweetened
- 0.5 cup dried pineapple, finely chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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 the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, beating until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is incorporated.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, dried pineapple, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Hawaiian Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite tropical drink!
