When I originally thought of this recipe, I had no idea where it would end up. I just knew that I wanted something different than my go-to chocolate. So, I made my way to the pantry & stood there looking aimlessly at what was available, & then I saw it! Macadamia nuts.

While a chocolate cookie usually got my vote growing up, I did always enjoy a good macadamia cookie… or maybe it was really the white chocolate. Either way, they were calling my name. I made these on the fly, deeply unsure of how it would turn out (I’m no cookie baker), but I was pleasantly surprised! The macadamia & coconut pair wonderfully – & the hint of maple… ooof, I was a fan.

As I often say, they’re simple, yet delicious.

Hope you give them a try, let me know what you think!

ingredients

1 c almond flour
½ c coconut flour
½ c coconut sugar
2 tbsp (heaping) maple syrup
⅓ c coconut flakes
⅓ c macadamia nuts, chopped
¼ c coconut oil
2 eggs *vegan: sub 2 tbsp flax / 4 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sea salt

steps

Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C

Chop the macadamia nuts & let them soak in the maple syrup with a dash of sea salt *let them sit for at least 5min, you can do this in advance too – an hour or so before

Mix dry ingredients together. Mix the other wet ingredients together, then add the macadamias

Pour wet ingredients into the dry & give a good stir

Shape the cookies *see note

Place on cooking sheet & bake for about 8 minutes (2-3 minutes more for crispier cookies)

NOTE: I find shaping cookies to be a pain because I want them to look perfectly round (a bit OCD). After many fails, I found that an ice cream scooper does the trick! This keeps the size and shape similar & makes a beautiful height. I then took a fork and pressed them down before baking.
