Coconut Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 3, 2014 by Bekah 1 Comment

So the other night I was having some major cravings for White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. The thought of those delicious, soft cookies with the creamy white chocolate and rich, nutty macadamia nuts was making me salivate. Yum!

One problem. Actually, two. No white chocolate and no macadamia nuts. Don’t you hate it when you have a craving but no ingredients??

Improvising time. Me and my sisters came up with cashews and semi sweet chocolate chips. And for fun, I threw in some toasted shredded coconut. They turned out great! It still had all the components I like in White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, but with a twist. It tasted almost like a Almond Joy (without the almonds…haha). 

These cookies are super yummy and they got a stamp of approval from the family! Here’s the recipe!

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
