Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped dried apricots
1 1/2 cups chopped dates
1 1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
1 1/2 cups chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until smooth. Add sugars, and mix until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time until combined; mix in vanilla.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in coconut, apricots, dates, macadamias, and pistachios.
  • Drop batter, 2 heaping tablespoons at a time, onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer cookies on parchment paper to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are amazing! They're so chewy and flavorful. I love that I can use different combinations of nuts to create different flavors. I've made them with chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and even bacon bits. They're always a hit!

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of mixed nuts, but I'm so glad I did! These cookies are amazing! The flavor is perfect and the texture is so chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
