1cupSugar
1cupBrown Sugar
2largeEggs
2teaspoonsVanilla
3cupsFlour
1teaspoonBaking Soda
¼teaspoonBaking Powder
½teaspoonSalt (if using unsalted butter, use ¾ teaspoon salt)
1 ½cupsWhite Chocolate Chips(suggest Guittard or Ghirardelli)
1cupMacadamia Nuts(roughly chopped but still large enough)
½cupCoconut (optional)(sweetened flaked or unsweetened coconut flakes)
Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar for at least 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.
Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. If using coconut, add it in now.
Drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. I suggest using light colored aluminum baking sheets for even baking. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Don't overbake! Let rest for 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing.
