Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1.25 cups white chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is creamy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, then beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, and chopped macadamia nuts using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
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.
Serve the Paradise Cookies warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
