Ultimate Walnut Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

 
 
 These cookies are absolutely delicious! Literally be prepared to be addicted. I make these all of the time, and Daniel always ask for them if we don't have them. Everyone loves them!
 
 
 
 
 
 I use whole macadamia nuts and chop them up into smaller pieces. I also do this to the walnuts or pecans, and the chocolate chips if they're too big. You can use the nuts whole but I think it adds a lot of flavor when every bite has a small piece of nut and chocolate, instead of big chunks every couple bites. Either way its delicious.
 
 
 
 
 
Another one of my tricks is to separate the dough into two bowls before I add the nuts and chocolate. That way you have two different cookie doughs out of one basic dough. The cookie itself is delicious so you can pretty much use this recipe and add any mix ins you want. The possibilities are endless.
 
 
 
 
 
 I made them pretty big as you can see not very many fit and these cookie sheets are huge. You can make them any size you want, the smaller they are the more cookies you can make. Just be sure to keep on eye on them while baking and adjust the baking time depending on size. The smaller the cookie the less time it takes to bake.
 
 
 
 
Also remember that the cookies will continue to bake on the cookie sheet even after you take them out of the oven . Leave them on the sheet for just a minute then let them cool on a cookie rack. It makes a world of difference.
I made these with sticks of vegetable spread instead of butter to cut out the calories and the price. You can use butter if you prefer, either way they're amazing! :)
