Notes

  • Make sure to pulse the macadamia nuts in a food processor a few times. BUT keep in mind, you don't want them to be too fine, because then you won't feel them when you bite into the cookie.
  • If the mixture is too thick, you can use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix in the nuts and coconut.
  • Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to get uniform cookie balls.
  • Feel free to use other mix-ins to make the cookies your own!
  • Store coconut macadamia cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
  • Wait for your cookies to fully cool down. Store cookies in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for 3 months.
