Servings 24 cookies
Calories 280kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup softened salted butter
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or paste
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups chocolate chips plus 1 optional cup
- 1 ⅓ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- ¾ cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars and vanilla on medium speed until creamy. This should take about four minutes. Pause every so often to scrap the mixture from the side of the bowl.
- Add one egg and then beat until incorporated. Add the other egg and beat until incorporated.
- Scrap the mixture off the side of the bowl again and gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips, coconut and macadamia nuts.
- Refrigerate until the dough stiffens, at least 30-60 minutes, and heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Form the dough into golf ball-size rounds and drop onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. If desired, drop a few chocolate chips from the remaining cup on top of each dough ball. Bake for 9 minutes. The cookies will look a little undercooked in the center, but they'll solidify as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two and move to wire racks to finish cooling. Enjoy!
