These dark Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Nut Cookies have three of my favorites wrapped up in delicious cookie form. Dark chocolate with crunchy, buttery Macadamia nuts and shreds of sweet coconut in pillowy cookie dough is hard to resist.
1cupor 6 ounces of dark chocolate chips (preferably small chocolate chips)
1/2cupmacadamia nutsroughly chopped
3/4cupof sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. (If you are using dark baking sheets, lower the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.)
In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat the butter and shortening on medium to high for 30 seconds or so. Make sure to scrape sides of the bowl to ensure the ingredients are mixed well.
Add granulated and brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat on medium for about 2 minutes. Again, ensuring the sides of the bowl are scraped to ensure ingredients are mixed well.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. About 15 seconds or so.
Beat the flour into the mixture gradually until it's fully integrated. Stir in dark chocolate chips, macadamia nuts and shredded coconut until fully combined.
Using a small ice cream scoop, add one cookie dough ball at a time and space evenly. Each cookie sheet should have 12 balls of dough.
Bake for about 7-10 minutes. Cookies will be baked when the edges are slightly golden. I sometimes check the underside of the cookie to ensure it's also golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
