The combination of sweet coconut, crunchy macadamias, and plenty of chocolate makes these Coconut Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies a definite crowd-pleaser!
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the coconut, macadamias, and both kinds of chocolate chips.
Drop the dough by 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared pans. Bake, one pan at a time, 14 to 16 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned.
Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*To toast, spread the coconut in a single layer on a lined, rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until toasted. Stir as needed to prevent over-browning. Read more at How to Toast Coconut.
