Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup dried pineapple chunks, chopped
• 0.5 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

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 the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, dried pineapple chunks, and macadamia nuts.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Treasure Island Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite cup of tea. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
