Dark Chocolate Macadamia Cookies (makes 24 cookies)
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
6 Tbsp. coconut nectar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine almond flour, coconut, sea salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl whisk together coconut oil, coconut nectar and vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until thoroughly combined, stir in chopped macadamia nuts and dark chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets about 2″ apart. The dough may seem slightly crumbly, just press it together and flatten it once on the cookie sheet, they will hold together once baked. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are slightly brown on top. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Although these cookies are excellent warm they really are best after they are completely cooled and in my opinion even better on day two! Store in an air tight container.

These look divine! I recently discovered how much i love macadamias. I never really liked them much but tried them again and have a new obsession.
I must stock up on macadamias!! Your cookies look and sound fantastic! 🙂

Is coconut nectar the same as coconut water? And is almond flour the same as almond meal or ground almonds? Thanks! These look delicious!
Coconut Nectar http://www.coconutsecret.com/nectar2.html is a sweetener like honey or maple syrup so you could substitute either one of those 1:1. I use blanched almond flour which is a bit finer than almond meal but I believe almond meal would work fine. If you are going to ground your almonds just make sure they are as fine as you can get them before they turn to almond butter.
Oh, these look so fine!! Definitely getting pinned at the top of my Must-Make List 🙂
These sound great and look really beautiful!
These look so delicious! And you have such a cute blog design, I love it!

I made these cookies so that my mom and I (both gluten free) would have a treat on Christmas Eve. They are AMAZING!!!! They were the perfect treat and several family members who are not gluten free thought they were great too. Thanks for a great recipe?
Oops. Should say thanks for a great recipe!! No question about that-sorry
These are wonderful and one of our favorite recipes. Thanks!
Definitely one of my favorites too!
Are they chewy or crispy? The great debate–what’s the best choc. chip cookie? LOL
But it has so many things I want to use in my next batch of cookies–can’t wait
These are crispy outside and chewy inside!!! My favorite combination. I hope you enjoy them!
