When Arthur Karp shared his
grandmother's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with
Michael Coles, the business partners knew they had a hit
on their hands. They opened their first Great American
Cookies store in 1977 in The Perimeter Mall in Atlanta,
Georgia. Now with more than 350 stores in the chain,
these cookies have quickly become a favorite, just
begging to be cloned. The chain bakes the cookies in
convection ovens at the low temperature of 280 degrees
for around 16 to 17 minutes. But, since must of us don't
have convection ovens and may have a hard time getting
the oven temperature to this odd setting, we have made
some adjustments. Just be sure when you remove the
cookies from the oven, that they appear undercooked and
only slightly browned around the edges. This will give
the cookies the perfect chewy texture when they cool.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick),
softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut flakes, finely minced
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces solid white chocolate, cut into chunks
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1. Cream together the butter
and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed.
2. Add the coconut, egg, milk and vanilla and mix well.
3. In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and
salt.
4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until
dough forms. Mix in the white chocolate and macadamia
nuts.
5. Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough
rest for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
6. Measure out about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the dough and
form a ball. Drop each ball of dough onto an ungreased
cookie sheet about 3 inches apart and bake for 12-14
minutes. Do not over bake! Cookies should come out of the
oven appearing slightly browned, yet undercooked. When
cooled the cookies will be soft and chewy like the
original. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
Makes 16-18 cookies.
