1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup butter, softened
1½ cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1½ tsp vanilla
1½ cups coconut, toasted
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped, toasted
1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until well combined. Add dry ingredients to bowl and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold into egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in coconut, macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Transfer batter to pan, and smooth into an even layer.

Bake until top is shiny and set, 22-25 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Remove bars from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 24 bars and serve. The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Toast Macadamia Nuts Spread in a single layer on a baking pan. Place in 400 oven. Toast until golden, 5-7 minutes, stirring half way through.
