White Chip Island Cookies

Tomorrow is dessert day at work and I plan to win first prize of course. I did cheat a little and I'm using a Nestle Toll House recipe....so I give them the credit, but I am making homemade cookies so I don't feel like a cop out and work. Plus that's just not my style ;)

1 2/3 Cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 Cup (1 1/2 sticks) of butter softened
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg (room temp) Trust me, cookies turn out better. I learned this from Ina Garten
1 Package white chocolate chips
1 Cup flaked coconut, toasted, if desired
3/4 Cup chopped macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 375
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until creamed.
Add the egg and mix just until combine. Slowly add in flour mixture and beat until just combine.
STIR in chips, coconut, and nuts.

Bake 8-11 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Allow to cool 2 minutes on the tray and then move cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.

ENJOY!
