Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Prepare ungreased cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Blend in the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
-
In a separate small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well until just combined.
-
Stir in the oats, vanilla milk chips, flaked coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers look set.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute to firm up slightly.
-
Remove the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving or storing.
