### Outback Cookie

#### Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
6. Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Outback Cookies are best enjoyed when they’re still warm, with the chocolate slightly melted and the flavors of coconut and macadamia nuts coming through beautifully. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They also make a lovely gift when packaged in a decorative tin or gift bag. So, whip up a batch of these delightful cookies and savor the comforting taste of the Outback in every bite!
