- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chunks
- 2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
- 2 cups sweetened coconut
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later use.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Stir in the chocolate chunks, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
-
Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and sweetened coconut until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving several inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm to the touch.
-
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, store the Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Coconut Cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and enjoy them whenever you’re in need of a sweet treat!
