Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c butter (1 stick), softened
1 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c coconut flakes, finely minced
1 egg
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz solid white chocolate, cut into chunks
1 c macadamia nuts, chopped

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed.
2. Add coconut, egg, milk and vanilla; mix well.
3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and combine until dough forms.
4. Mix in the white chocolate and nuts.
5. Measure out about 2-1/2 tablespoons dough and form a ball. Drop each ball of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes. (I use a cookie scoop for less mess)
6. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies should come out of the oven appearing slightly browned, yet undercooked. When cooled, the cookies will be soft and chewy like the original.
