White Chocolate, Macadamia Nut and Coconut Cookies

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted 
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar 
  • 1/2 cup white sugar 
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk 
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 1/2 cups (chopped, if needed) macadamia nuts 
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips 
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded, sweetened coconut 

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl then set aside. 

Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla with a mixer until creamy. 

Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just mixed. 

Stir in the macadamia nuts, white chocolate chips, and 1 cup of coconut by hand. 

Drop by the spoonful onto a greased or lined baking sheet. 

Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the last 1/2 cup of coconut. 

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown. 

Cool on the baking sheet for at least 4-5 minutes (so cookies can set) before moving to a rack. Enjoy.
