Chunky Macadamia Chip Cookies

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter or margarine, softened
1/ 2 cup granulated sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 cup coconut
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
¾ cup macadamia nuts chopped
½ cup chopped white baking pieces or chips
½ cup milk chocolate chips
 

Combine sugar, butter, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add flour, coconut, baking soda and salt. Beat at low speed until soft dough forms. Stir in nuts and chips. Bake on parchment paper lined cookie sheet for 11-13 minutes at 350º.

NOTE: I usually use all white chips and not milk chocolate.
