Healthy Nut Chewies Recipes

THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, 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 ½ tablespoon of both the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Stir in the rest of each. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon and a spatula. Slightly flatten using a spatula. (The cookies should spread some but not a lot!) Gently press the remaining white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts into the tops. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt shortly after removing the cookies from the oven.
