    These Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthy alternative to traditional chocolate chip cookies. They are super soft, moist and flavorful, and are made with ingredients you'd never imaged could be used to make a cookie.

    Paleo Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies

    There aren’t too many combinations that can top macadamia nuts and chocolate chips combined together to make soft, chewy homemade cookies.

    Simple, whole food ingredients make these cookies easy to make and they are loaded with flavor. This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free.

    It was first published in the cookbook The Paleo Kitchen, by George Bryant and Juli Bauer. George and Julie asked me to review their cookbook and I was very honored!

    It should come as no surprise that my favorite chapter in the book is the desserts chapter. George and Juli have come up with some amazing dessert recipes and when I saw the Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies I knew I had to make it.

    These cookies combine two of my favorite foods, macadamia nuts and chocolate and they turned out even better than I imagined! So I wanted to share this recipe with you all and the authors were excited to have me share it here on the blog.

    I hope you try making them because they taste amazing and better than a lot of traditional chocolate chip cookies made with all purpose flour and sugar!

    Cookies

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    • Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, 10 cookies per baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack immediately to cool.
