Calories 100 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder (may use cornstarch instead)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder (prefer non-aluminum baking powder)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (prefer sea salt or pink salt)
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter , melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 Tbsp milk , any kind
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (may also use raw unrefined cane sugar)
  • 2 Tbsp sugar free white chocolate chips , divided. (Prefer ChocZero Sugar Free White Chocolate Chips, see recipe notes)
  • 2 Tbsp macadamia nuts, chopped , divided

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, arrowroot, baking powder,and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg white, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the coconut sugar. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Reserve 1/2 tablespoon of both the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Stir in the rest of each. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

  3. Drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoon. Slightly flatten using a spatula. (The cookies should spread some but not a lot.) Gently press a few white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts into the tops of each cookie.

  4. Bake at 350°F for 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  5. Leftover cookies will keep for at least one week if stored in an airtight container.
