🔪 How to Make Gluten-Free Macadamia Nut Cookies

Preheat oven to 325°F.

In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, oat fiber, baking soda and Xanthan gum and whisk until well combined, then set aside.

Add the butter and sweeteners in a separate bowl and cream together using a hand mixer.  Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing.

Mix in the dry ingredients, only until combined.

Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. 

Gently press down to flatten the dough slightly, then bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden.

Allow them to cool on the sheet pan for at least 20 minutes or more. Cookies made with almond flour tend to be a more delicate until they have cooled some.

Note: If you want crispier cookies, flatten the dough out more.  If you want a more soft baked type cookie, do not flatten the dough out.

☑️ Storage Instructions

These cookies can be stored right on your counter top in an air tight cookie jar like this one for about a week.

Can You Freeze Leftover Keto Macadamia Nut Cookies?

You sure can. In fact, you can freeze the raw dough or the baked cookies.

To freeze the dough, just form into balls and place them onto a sheet pan that has been lined with silpat or parchment paper. Freeze for a couple of hours then transfer them to freezer bags. When you’re ready to bake them, let them sit out at room temp for about 30 minutes before baking.

For baked cookies, place cookies in a single layer between pieces of parchment paper in an air-tight, freezer safe container for up to a couple of months.

💡 Tips for Making Almond Flour Cookies

• One of the main reasons Keto cookie recipes don’t turn out the way they should is the mix up between almond meal and blanched super fine almond flour. Make sure you’re using almond flour. Almond meal has a grainier texture and just doesn’t work as well in most cookie recipes.
• Almond flour is much more dense than traditional flour. In many of my baked Keto recipes, you’ll see the addition of oat fiber. Oat fiber is a game changer in low carb baking. The combination of these two gluten free flours allows the cookie, or whatever you’re baking, to become light and fluffy without falling to pieces.
• Because almond flour doesn’t contain gluten, you need to use some sort of binder to help hold the dough together as it bakes. Eggs along with xanthan gum, arrowroot flour or guar gum are great Keto friendly binders.
• Let the cookies cool before moving them to a cooling rack. When you pull them out of the oven, they will still be soft and can break apart.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• If you don’t have a monk fruit/allulose combination, you can use all monk fruit instead. If you only have allulose, you can use 1/2 cup since allulose isn’t as sweet as monk fruit. Just understand that the cookies will be soft-baked, since allulose doesn’t crystallize as it cools.
• If you don’t have brown sweetener, you can substitute with more monk fruit/allulose. Since the brown sweetener gives a more molasses-like flavor, you will be missing that aspect of the cookies, but they will still taste great.
• If you can’t find white chocolate chips, you can use any sugar-free chocolate chips that you like, semi-sweet, milk chocolate or dark chocolate will all work fine.
• If you don’t love macadamia nuts, you can use pecans or walnuts instead. Just be sure to toast them first, as that will give the cookies more nutty flavor.

Are Macadamia Nuts Keto?

Macadamia nuts only contain 1.5 grams of net carbs per one ounce portion and they are the most fat-dense of all tree nuts making them truly ideal for anyone on Keto or low carb diets.

Additionally, they are a nutrient powerhouse. Macadamia nuts are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. All of these things make them the perfect Keto snack, especially when they are baked in these White Chocolate Macadamia Keto Cookies.

What are Keto Friendly Chocolate Chips?

In order to be Keto friendly, chocolate chips must have a low GI, meaning they do not cause a spike in your blood sugar levels.

There are several great sugar-free chips on the market that taste really good and they melt perfectly. Most of these chips are sweetened with a sugar substitute and are suitable for those that are on Keto or low carb diets, but you should always read the label.

Two of the most popular brands are Lily’s, that uses Stevia as a sweetener and Choc Zero, that uses Monk Fruit sweetener. Both are excellent choices for your Keto baking needs.

How do I modify this recipe to make bigger batch cookies for meal prep throughout week?

In the recipe card, there is an option for adjustable servings you can click the up arrow to increase the batch by as much as you’d like.

What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It’s pure insoluble fiber, which doesn’t dissolve in water and isn’t broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that’s why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!

What is a Substitute for Oat Fiber?

To get the best results, it’s best to use oat fiber if you can. If you’re unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
