Total time: 
Serves: 15-18 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups gluten free all purpose flour, I use Bobs Red Mill ‘1-to-1 Baking Flour’*
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup coconut oil, room temperature
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg**
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips, dairy free if preferred
  • ½ cup macadamias, roughly chopped
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (356ºF). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together coconut oil and coconut sugar in a large mixing bowl until well combined and just beginning to get fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla, whisk until light, fluffy and smooth.
  5. Gradually add in flour mixture, whisking well until it begins to form a soft dough.
  6. Fold through white chocolate chips and chopped macadamias.
  7. Form into a dough, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from refrigerator and form into balls/cookies. Approx. 2 tablespoons worth each. Place onto prepared tray, pressing down on them slightly, you don’t want them as a complete ball so press them down halfway. Leaving 2 inches between each cookie as they do spread.
  9. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until lightly golden.
  10. Remove and cool on tray for 10 minutes.
  11. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container, in the pantry or refrigerated, for 4-6 days.
*I love Bobs Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour in my baked goods. It works perfectly as an exact swap for regular flour as a 1:1 ratio. You may also use any other gluten free all purpose flour or any regular wheat all purpose flour.
**If you would prefer a complete vegan version, replace the regular egg with a flax egg. You may also want to use dairy free white chocolate chips.
