Title: Great American Cookies White Chunk Macadamia
Categories: Cookies, Copycat
Yield: 16 Cookies

1/2 c Butter; softened
1 c Brown sugar
1/2 c Coconut flakes;
- finely minced
1 Egg
1 tb Milk
1 ts Vanilla
1 1/2 c Flour
2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
8 oz Solid white chocolate;
- cut into chunks
1 c Macadamia nuts; chopped

When Arthur Karp shared his grandmother's favorite chocolate chip
cookie recipe with Michael Coles, the business partners knew they had
a hit on their hands. They opened their first Great American Cookies
store in 1977 in The Perimeter Mall in Atlanta, Georgia. Now with
more than 350 stores in the chain, these cookies have quickly become
a favorite, just begging to be cloned. The chain bakes the cookies in
convection ovens at the low temperature of 280?F for around 16 to 17
minutes. But since most of us don't have convection ovens and may
have a hard time getting the oven temperature to this odd setting, we
have made some adjustments. Just be sure, when you remove the cookies
from the oven, that they appear undercooked and only slightly browned
around the edges. This will give the cookies the perfect chewy
texture when they cool.

Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on
high speed.

Add the coconut, egg, milk, and vanilla and mix well.

In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and
salt.

Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until dough forms. Mix
in the white chocolate and macadamia nuts.

Preheat oven to 300?F while you let the dough rest for 30 to
60 minutes in the refrigerator.

Measure out about 2-1/2 tb dough and form a ball. Drop each ball of
dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 3" apart and bake for 12
to 14 minutes. Do not overbake! Cookies should come out of the oven
appearing slightly browned, yet undercooked. When cooled the cookies
will be soft and chewy like the original.
