Ingredients
  

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk large, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup coconut sweetened shredded
  • 0.5 cup macadamia nuts chopped
  • 0.25 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • 2 baking sheets

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  4. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
  6. Mix in the flour mixture on low speed just until no dry streaks remain.
  7. Fold in the white chocolate chips, coconut, and macadamia nuts.
  8. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake one sheet at a time for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
  10. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.
  11. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Dust the cooled cookies with the confectioners’ sugar.

Notes

For soft centers, take the cookies out when the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freezer-friendly. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free butter and white chocolate chips.
