Ingredients

Instructions

  1. First, toast the nuts. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, and place the macadamia nut pieces on it in an even layer. If your macadamia nuts are whole, roughly chop them first. Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and toast the nuts for 5 minutes, shake the pan to redistribute the nuts, and then toast them again for another 5 minutes or just until they begin to become lightly golden brown and are fragrant. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set the nuts aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 325°F.

Chef's Notes

Butter: Make sure your butter is at proper “room temperature.” It should give a bit when you try to press your fingertip into it, but it shouldn't feel greasy.
If your butter softens very quickly, either naturally or because you zap it in the microwave to soften it, it may be too soft. Try dicing the butter and allowing it to sit at room temperature for much less time to soften.
If you need to replace the butter, try vegan butter (but not Earth Balance buttery sticks, which will melt too fast and make flat cookies). If you have to eliminate dairy but can't find dairy free white chocolate, try using a different sort of chip.
Eggs: Two “chia eggs” might work here.

These cookies are so delicious and I’ll be making them again! I did have to add a few tablespoons of evaporated milk to help them form better. I made them with my ice cream scooper and they were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I planto make these,but am wondering if I could use coconut sugar and brown sugar/Stevia blend
sugar in place of the regular sugars given in recipe. thanks Dianne Lasky

I also made this with Bob Mills and they were a huge hit. I want use only almond flour next time. What adjustments should I make?

Tina ★ 5.0/5

My first gluten free cookie recipe to make, and they were delicious! I used Bob's Red Mill 1:1 (blue bag). I have a hard time finding GF macadamia nuts though so savoring these cookies! Thank you for the recipe!

Mikaela Maxwell ★ 5.0/5

I love your recipes! These cookies turned out wonderful, it was nice to not have to chill them. I always use Bob's 1 to 1, but I weigh the flour and your recipes always turn out great! Maybe they grind their rice flour more now, it's not gritty to me and no everyone is always surprised that they're gluten free.
