Chocolate Chip and Coconut Cookies
These chocolate chip and coconut cookies are so yummy you will be amazed! One of my husband’s clients had given the crew some of these cookies when they were freshly baked, and I did not hear the end of it until I got the recipe! Per his client these cookies are known as Hope’s Royal Cookies. So I am not sure of the origin of these cookies or who the original creator was to give them credit. But they are super delicious so I wanted to share!
Hope’s Royal Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cups Butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Pure Coconut Extract (if you can only find imitation, increase the amount from 1/4 to 1 teaspoon)
- 1 cup Sugar (or your favorite natural sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1 Large Egg Yolk
- 1/2 cups coarsely Chopped Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Sweetened, Flaked Coconut
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes) Beat in whole egg, egg yolk, vanilla and coconut extract until smooth.
Mix in the flour mixture until just combined and then stir in the chocolate chips, coconut and chopped nuts.
Use a small scoop or a generous tablespoon of the dough and form it into a ball in your hands. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet (this is important!) or a cooking stone. Make sure you leave enough room for the cookies to spread.
Bake them for 10-18 minutes, depending on how soft you like your cookies. Bake until just barely golden brown. I always rotate the cookie sheets at least once. Remove from oven and leave on parchment paper or cooking stone to cool. At least 10 minutes. Once cool, the cookies should easily come up from paper or stone.
These cookies freeze very well. Make them into balls and freeze on parchment paper line cookie sheets. Once frozen, place balls in freezer bag and freeze until ready to bake. Remove from freeze and thaw before baking.
Enjoy!! I hope you love them as much as my family does! There are many more great recipes to try!

These are a delicious variation to traditional cookies! i hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
