Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup dried pineapple
• 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the dried pineapple, shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop the cookie dough into 1.5-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies chewy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
