  • 4 ounce bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped, Ghirardelli brand, bar
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips Ghirardelli

  • 3/4 cup dried mango chopped
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir until mixed. Set aside. 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, place the butter, shortening and sugars. Mix until all ingredients are mixed well and the mixture is even, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. 2/3 cup salted butter , 2/3 cup vegetable shortening, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well. 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  5. Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in your stand mixer. Mix just until combined.
  6. Add the white and bittersweet chocolate chunks, white and bittersweet chocolate chips and dried mangos, then mix well. Add the macadamia nuts and coconut flakes and mix again. 4 ounce Ghirardelli white chocolate bar, 4 ounce Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate bar, 1/2 cup Ghirardelli white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips, 3/4 cup dried mango, 1 cup macadamia nuts, 1 cup coconut flakes
  7. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie dough ball. Press any scraggly edges into the dough ball so that they bake up round and even.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. If you'd like a perfectly round cookie, swirl them in a mason jar ring or a large circle cookie dough cutter immediately after they come out of the oven.
  9. If you'd like a chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl in 10-15 second intervals. Stir well between each interval and then drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies. Allow the chocolate to set before storing them. 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
