Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dairy-free butter (room temperature)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Dairy-free white chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts (roughly chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the dairy-free butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the dairy-free white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough (or use a cookie scoop) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
