Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) vegan butter
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream *see note
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free (measure 1 to 1) flour blend
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 1/4 cups dairy free white chocolate chips or chunks **see note
  • 3/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Cream butter and sugar together in bowl of stand mixer (or with hand mixer). Scrape sides of bowl and add coconut milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, soda, and salt. Mix until completely blended.

  2. Add cornstarch, then flour one cup at a time and beat after each addition but just until combined. (If you are using a hand mixer you may have to hand stir the last cup of flour into the dough.) Once your have a thick cookie dough, stir in the white chocolate and mac nuts, then line a cookie sheet with parchment.

  3. Roll into golf-sized balls and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Press the cookies down a bit, as these cookies don't spread very much when baked.

  4. Bake for 8 - 9 minutes until edges just start to turn golden brown. (The trick for making these the best is to keep them light and soft so that the retain the super chewy texture.) Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack.

Recipe Notes

*If you have trouble finding coconut cream where you live you can use a can of full-fat coconut milk. Simply refrigerate it and use only the thick white cream portion the rises to the top of the can. Save the rest of the can for another purpose.

**You can purchase vegan white chocolate bars or white chocolate baking chips online or in many stores.
