Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix everything together until completely combined. Fold in the macadamia nuts and coconut. (You can use a mixer for this step if needed.)
- Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chopped white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second increments, stopping and stirring after each until completely smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Allow chocolate to set completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh, unsweetened coconut and macadamia nuts for the best flavor.
- Toasting the coconut and macadamia nuts before using them will enhance their flavor and give the cookies a more golden color.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
