Buttery big bakery-style cookies loaded with macadamias, coconut, and creamy white chocolate — a tropical bite of paradise.

Ingredients

    Directions

    These cookies are a tropical twist on a classic — buttery cookies studded with crunchy macadamias, sweet coconut, and creamy white chocolate chips. Easy to whip up and bursting with island flavor, they’re the perfect treat for summer gatherings, holiday platters, or anytime you want a taste of paradise.

    Step1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of all‑purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; set aside.

    Step2

    In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of softened butter until smooth, light, and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

    Step3

    Stir in 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition, then add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and blend until light and creamy.

    Step4

    Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

    Step5

    Roughly chop 3/4 cup of macadamia nuts, then mix them into the dough on low speed just until evenly incorporated.

    Step6

    Add in 1 cup of white chocolate chips, stirring again just until combined.

    Step7

    Lastly, stir in the sweetened shredded coconut just until mixed.

    Step8

    On the prepared baking sheets, portion 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, spacing them generously to account for spread during baking. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.

    Step9

    Allow the cookies to cool on a parchment‑lined countertop or on a cooling rack.

    Step10

    Enjoy!
