To be honest, I liked this version better than the regular chocolate chip cookies!
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup desiccated coconut
1 box 7 oz. Hawaiian Host Milk Chocolate Alohamacs, coarsely chopped
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat well.
Stir in flour mixture. Fold in coconut and chopped chocolate-covered macadamias.
(Chill for about 20 minutes, if desired.)
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto paper-lined cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cookie edges are lightly browned.
Makes about 2 to 2-1/2 dozen cookies.
