This new (to me) batch of dough is in my 'fridge, ready to bake tomorrow morning. I can't wait to taste the results.
NUTTY COCONUT COOKIES
Greased sheets -- 325* -- 18 to 20 minutes -- 4 1/2 dozen (dough looks like a lot more than 4 1/2 dozen!!)
I always use parchment and never worry about greasing a cookie sheet.
1 cup butter - softened 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 1 2/3 cups packed lt. brown sugar 2/3 cups sugar 4 large eggs 1 Tblsp vanilla 1 tsp lemon juice 3 1/2 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 1/2 cups coconut 2 cups white baking chips 1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
Preheat oven to 325*.
Combine butter and shortening in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in brown sugar and sugar at low speed for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each one. Beat in vanilla and lemon juice. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in separate bowl. Add to butter mixture gradually beating continually. Stir in coconut, white chips and nuts. Drop by tablespoon onto prepared sheets. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden. Cool 2minutes on sheet - transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
