🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup dried pineapple chunks, chopped
• 0.5 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

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

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, dried pineapple chunks, and macadamia nuts.

7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

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

10. Enjoy your Treasure Island Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite cup of tea. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
