What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Coconut, dark chocolate and macadamia nuts make a downright all-star collection of richness for these quick cookies.

2/3 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 bars (3 ounce size) Swiss dark chocolate, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 jar (3.337 ounce size) macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla with electric mixer at medium-high speed until fluffy.
Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour, increasing mixer speed gradually. Beat just until blended. Stir in chocolate, coconut and nuts.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough 2 1/2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 17 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned and tops of cookies look dry.
Cool on sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool completely.
