White Chocolate Chips Love Macadamia Nuts

Vegan and Gluten-Free Substitutions for This Cookie Recipe
The macadamia nut and white chocolate chips combo is too good to miss out on due to dietary restrictions. That’s why we’ve got you covered with vegan and gluten-free options for this recipe.
Instead of butter, one option is to use coconut oil, which compliments macadamia nuts nicely for a more tropical vibe. Or replace the butter in this recipe with your very own homemade macadamia nut butter.
When substituting the egg, remember that 1 egg is roughly equal to ¼ cup. One option is to combine 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and add this in place of the egg. Alternatively, you can try coconut yogurt.
For the gluten-free folks out there, simply use your favorite gluten-free flour wherever the recipe calls for flour. We suggest using cassava, oat, or coconut flour. Just make sure you look up the conversion as it may not be a one-to-one substitution.
No Better Combination Than Cookies and Milk
The image of a plateful of warm cookies and a cold glass of milk probably brings up childhood memories. The nostalgia is for good reason- it’s a tasty combination! Whether you prefer to dip your cookie into the milk or follow each bite with a sip from your glass, there’s no denying that it’s a satisfying snack.
