Sweet with old-fashioned flavor, these oatmeal cookies are jazzed up with salty crunchy macadamia nuts and mellowed with creamy white chocolate. Gluten free eaters won’t soon forget these delicious treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup ( 140 g) Brown Rice Flour blend *see Notes
  • 1/4 cup ( 30 g) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. soda
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 2 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup salted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a mixer, cream coconut oil, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.
  2. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  3. Add the flours, salt, soda, and xanthan gum. Mix well.
  4. Add the oatmeal and mix well. Keep mixing on medium speed for an extra minute to thoroughly hydrate the gluten free flours.
  5. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Just use the same paddle attachment on your mixer, but run it slowly until everything is combined together.
  6. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes, or chill it in the fridge for an hour or more.
  7. Heat the oven to 350℉. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, drop cookie dough using a cookie scoop. I use a 2 inch scoop for nice big cookies. You can also use a big spoon.
  8. Bake at 350℉ for about 7 minutes, or until they pass the “touch test”. Touch the cookie in the very center, and if no cookie dough clings to your finger, they are ready to take out. 
  9. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.They will get more solid as they cool. Gluten free baked goods need extra time to cool - if you pick them up too soon, they will crumble and break apart.
