ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached all-purpose white flour, spooned and leveled
- 3⁄4 cup coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 3⁄4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 quart softened vanilla ice cream
-
Decoration
- chopped toasted macadamia nuts, to taste
- toasted coconut, to taste
- candy sprinkles, to taste
directions
- Brown the butter. Place butter in small saucepan. Place on stove set to medium heat. Swirl pan occasionally to make sure butter is cooking evenly.
- As the butter melts, it will begin to foam, and then subside. Watch for browned specks forming at the bottom of the pan. The color will progress to a nice toasty brown and you will set a nutty aroma. Remove pan from heat and let butter cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line 3 baking pans 13x8 inch with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add oats, flour, coconut, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Once butter has come to room temperature, pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Add sugars. Turn to medium high speed and mix until smooth and sugar granules have dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Turn mixer to low and slowly stream in the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Remove bowl from stand mixer and fold in crushed macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough into 2 tablespoon sized balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart (about 10 per pan). Use your palm to gently press cookies to flatten and shape them a bit.
- Bake cookies for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the edges have slightly browned, rotating the pans halfway through the baking process. Let cookies cool on the pans for 2 to 3 minutes then transfer to a baking rack. Let cool completely before assembling the sandwiches.
- Once the cookies have cooled, pair together cookies that are similar in size.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to fill one cookie with softened ice cream (at least 1 inch thick). Place the other cookie on top of the ice cream. Set sandwich on a baking pan lined with wax paper and immediately place into the freezer to prevent melting. Let sandwiches set for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
