Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ Cup (1 Stick) Butter - Softened
- ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 ¼ Cup Gluten-Free Flour Blend - I use Cup4Cup for this recipe
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks
- 1 Cup Macadamia Nuts - Chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until it's light and fluffy.
- Add egg and beat well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture into the butter mixture, beating well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour. This will harden-up the butter up again so that the cookies bake evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Use a medium cookie scoop (or a rounded tablespoon) to drop the cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Slightly flatten the cookie dough balls with the palm of your hand so they are in a disc shape.
- Bake 11-13 minutes or until they are golden brown. Cool slightly before moving from cookie sheet to a wire rack for cooling.
Notes
*Reserve some chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts to place on the top of the cookies before you bake them, just to give them a more professional look.
