Tips & Notes
- •For best results, use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. If your blend doesn't contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
- •Don't overbake the cookies, as they will continue to firm up as they cool. Slightly underbaked cookies will be softer and chewier.
- •Toast the macadamia nuts lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor.
