The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe

4 servings

2 cups butter flavored shortening

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1 1/2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, cream together the butter flavored shortening, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.

Finally, fold in the chocolate chips, coconut and macadamia nuts.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy! - they will be chewy.

If you like them crispy, increase the cooking time to about 12 minutes.

(My mom loves them burnt!)
