Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 10 minutes)
Toast the macadamia nuts and coconut for deeper flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, watching carefully to prevent burning.
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
