How to Make Tropical Key Lime White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 225g all-purpose flour, 5g baking powder, 2.5g salt, and 2.5g baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 115g softened unsalted butter, 100g granulated sugar, and 100g packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 1 large egg, the juice of 1 key lime (or regular lime), and the zest of 1 key lime. Beat for 1 minute until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 100g chopped macadamia nuts, 50g shredded sweetened coconut, and 100g chopped Cadbury's white chocolate by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
