Chewy Coconut Macadamia Cookies

Cook Time13 mins
Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 l large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2¾ cups (344g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (90g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Stir in the shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Arrange the dough balls close together but not touching on the baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 1-2 hours.
  • Transfer the frozen dough balls to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Label the bag with the baking instructions.
  • To bake: preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the frozen cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll set as they cool).
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
