Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Weigh 200g butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. Weigh 30g cocoa powder. Weigh 310g basic sponge mix.
TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start as we've sent a bit extra cocoa powder and basic sponge mix!
In a medium heatproof bowl, place white chocolate chips. In a small saucepan, heat coconut cream (see ingredients) over medium heat until just steaming, 1-2 minutes. Pour cream over chocolate, then stir until melted and combined. Place in the fridge to cool, 20-30 minutes.
TIP: You want the cream steaming but not boiling!
While the ganache is cooling, place softened butter, brown sugar and vanilla-flavoured essence in a large bowl. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well combined, 1 minute.
To the bowl, add the measured sponge mix and cocoa powder. On low speed, beat until dough comes together, 1-2 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in crushed macadamia nuts, until just combined.
TIP: Just beat until the dough comes together, overbeating can cause the cookies to become tough.
Roll heaped tablespoons of dough into balls. You should get 15-20 cookies. Place balls on the two lined oven trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just firm to touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast shredded coconut, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a plate or board. Drizzle with ganache. Sprinkle over toasted coconut to serve.
