Vanilla Macadamia Cookies - Vegan & GF
Bonlemon #10: vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, moist, soft, chewy, and easy to make
When you have only 30 minutes available to bake a wonderful treat, these cookies are your solution!
Cookies are one of my favorite baking goodies to make. I also love cupcakes and banana breads, everything in these categories. Another favorite recipe that I have not tried as often are pies but will do very soon.
Today’s recipe is an exquisite and exclusive variation from our blog Vanilla Nut Cookies which have peanuts and cranberries. I did more enhancements in today’s recipe and went for a fully white cookie look using macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips (see video below). I assure you; my kids and husband went crazy about them! I hope you like them.
Cookies are just so special. When cookies are warm coming out of the oven, the sweet aroma, consistency, softness, all about them is magical. When you dip them in a hot matcha latte, or a hot cocoa, or coffee, or your favorite tea, it is just so special. I have been craving baking cookies since the summer ended, but the busy mom schedule and the heat were delaying this delicious creation.
I finally made it to today’s simple, fast and delicious recipe for these vegan vanilla macadamia cookies which are made with only 7 ingredients and are practically effortless!!!

RECIPE
This recipe is a variation of my original Vanilla Nut Cookies in my blog: Vanilla Nut Cookies
Ingredients
Servings 10 cookies. Double the recipe ingredients for giant cookies like in the video.
1/2 cup Gluten free flour
3/4 cups Almond flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/3 cup Pure cane sugar or coconut sugar, or any 1 to 1 sugar you wish to use. Erythritol and monk fruit are good options too.
1/4 cup Macadamia nuts
1/4 cup White chocolate chips (I used hypoallergenic ones from Walmart brand)
1/2 cup Coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (I like extra flavor, so I added 2 teaspoons to my batch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius
Grease a baking pan or prepare a baking sheet on top of your baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl add the almond flour, gluten free flour, baking powder, pure cane sugar and mix. Add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and mix until combined.
Measure about 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough per each cookie and form round shapes on the baking pan or a baking sheet. For larger cookies, measure about 4 tablespoons each.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes until you test by inserting a toothpick and it comes out clean. Mine are usually ready in 18 mins.
Serve warm or store for up to 4 days in an airtight container. It makes about 10-12 cookies.

We didn’t have an oven back home in India, so we used to dip store-bought biscuits into a small cup of tea. Google “Parle-G biscuits”. You’ll dive into in a cultural rabbit hole!
