The following is from a 1986 Betty Crocker's cookbook. I often omit the coconut and substitute 1/2 of a 12oz package of Nestle Premium White Morsels. I have NEVER had a complaint about the cookies either way. Enjoy.
MACADAMIA-COCONUT COOKIES
1C. margarine or butter, softened
1C. packed brown sugar
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 C. all-purpose flour*
1 t. baking soda
1 C. flaked coconut
1 jar (3 1/2 oz.) macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream margarine, sugars. And egg, mix well. Stir in flour and baking soda (dough will be stiff). Stir in coconut and nuts. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Centers will be soft.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet
About 4 1/2 dozen cookies; 85 calories per cookies
* if using self-rising flour, omit baking soda.
