Paradise Cookies

Tropical flavors of coconut and macadamia nut come together in these wonderful cookies.

Here’s yet another delicious recipe from my friend at Maria’s Mixing Bowl! Maria’s always finding such super recipes that she shares with her thousands of Facebook fans. And this is another great one.

Like a candybar
I can go on and on about how I love white chocolate, coconut and macadamia nuts, but I won’t–there’s just too many reasons.

You don’t have to toast the coconut here, but I did because I think it adds so much to the coconutty flavor. I happened to have macadamia nuts on hand, but since they are quite pricy, you can also use slivered almonds which are less expensive. Although I would advise treating yourself to the macadamias…because they are totally yummy!

Yummy macadamias & coconut

These are a tad on the sweet side if they are slightly warm, but I noticed that the sweetness abated somewhat when they cooled completely. But if you don’t want such an intensely sweet cookie, then reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and you should be OK. However, if you use unsweetened flaked coconut, don’t monkey with the sugar!!!

Perfect with milk

You’ll have to hide these because they’ll disappear quickly!
