These gluten free Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are a HUGE hit every time I make them! I prefer making these with semi-sweet chocolate chunks but milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate can be used. These taste like a true bakery-style cookie, soft and gooey in the middle with a little crunch along the outside.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend see note 1
  • 1/4 cup 32 g sorghum flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup Nutiva shortening
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips of your choice
  • 1 cup raw unsalted macadamia nuts very roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Whisk together the gluten free flour blend, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl then set aside.
  • Add the melted butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together until smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low until the flour is completely incorporated, scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts until incorporated evenly through-out the dough. Form the dough into one large ball then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Use a large cookie scoop (3 Tablespoons) to scoop the dough. Roll into balls then slightly press the top to flatten a bit. Bake 6 cookies at a time on the center rack for 14 minutes (longer for a crisper cookie).
  • Once done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
  • Bake the remaining cookies in batches, keep the dough chilled while waiting to bake it.
  • Store in an air-tight container up to 3 days.
