Here’s a cookie recipe that’s a bit spendy but in my opinion, worth every penny! 🙂 Also, in my humble opinion, worth every calorie. 🙂 Enjoy!

White Chocolate Chip Island Cookies

Ingredients

1 2/3 c. flour

3/4 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/3 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla extract

1 egg

2 c. (12 oz.) white chocolate chips

1 c. toasted coconut

3/4 c. macadamia nuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle 1 c. coconut on baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes, checking and stirring often so that it doesn’t burn. Remove from oven and let cool.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels, coconut and macadamia nuts. Bake for 8-11 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Yield: approximately 2 dozen cookies.
