Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1.5 cups White chocolate chips (ensure gluten-free labeling)
• 1 cup Chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if needed), baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients in batches to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until a smooth cookie dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions 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 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked – this is okay, as they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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