Ever had that problem with not being able to find a gluten free cookie in a bakery? And if you do they taste nothing like how you remember? Well with this recipe and me being your fairy god mother I will make your wishes come true!

It’s actually not long ago I decided to make a recipe for these, before that I had never tried them before. I added a little sprinkling of nutmeg into the mixture and been addicted to them ever since.

Below you’ll find step by step instructions and if you prefer a paper version, there’s a print button at the top of the page.

Shopping List

  • 150g softened butter
  • 80g soft brown sugar
  • 70g golden caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 200g gluten free plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp xantham gum – only add this if your gluten free flour doesn’t already contain it
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 90g white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
  • 70g chopped macadamia nuts

I use Doves Farm Freee gluten free plain flour but you can use another of your choice.

For the baking powder, ensure it’s gluten free. Most are but it’s always best to check before buying. Also make sure it’s within the expiry date!

In my baking I often use vanilla paste but you are free to use extract instead. The vanilla bean flavour just won’t pop like vanilla paste does but they’ll still be delicious!

Yes that’s right – grated nutmeg! Trust me on this one but you do want to go steady with it!

Can I make this recipe nut free?

Yes you can make this nut free but I’m afraid you’ll have to take out the macadamias which is changing the recipe slightly. You could always substitute it with things like raspberries, dried apple, pieces of stem ginger or even more chocolate!

Can I make this dairy free?

Yes this is totally dairy free adaptable. All you’ll need is the following…

  • A hard block of margarine such as Stork or Flora Plant Butter – instead of dairy butter. Make sure this is softened to make the recipe!
  • Dairy free chocolate chips such as Moo Free Chocolate Chips – for your chocolate

So I grant you your wishes and on with the recipe!
