How to Make Treasure Island Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chunks, 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, and 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
