Macadamia Coconut Icebox Cookies
Makes about 72

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup flaked coconut

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Stir in vanilla. Sift together flour, baking soda, and
salt. Stir into the butter mixture. Then stir in the
oatmeal, macadamia nuts and coconut.
Divide dough into three portions and roll each portion
into a log about 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each
log in plastic wrap and put into the refrigerator to
chill for 2 hours, or wrap and freeze for up to 2
months. Preheat oven to 325 F.

Grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper
or non-stick baking mats. If frozen, let dough sit out
at room temperature for 5 minutes. Slice each log into
1/4-inch rounds and place about 1 inch apart on
prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes
until golden brown. Allow to cool for one 1 minute on
baking sheet, then remove to wire racks to cool.
