Macadamia nuts… Chocolate chips…. Cookies…Oh my!
Yes, you read that right! Mix my favorite nut butter with coconut flour and chocolate chips and you have yourself an amazing cookie! I can’t take credit for this delicious creation though. This cookie is just one of MANY amazing recipe from The Paleo Kitchen Cookbook.
George Bryant (Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations) was kind enough to send me a copy of his new book he co-wrote with Juli Bauer of PaleoOMG. I’ve been drooling over these recipes and have already added a few into our menu for the week!
Now to the recipe….

I’m making these now!
(Literally, the dough is in the fridge as I type)
I am so excited to try them. I am new to gluten free baking so this will be the 2nd coconut flour recipe I have ever made. I can not wait to see how they come out. Thank you so much for having such a wonderful website full of great recipes & information! ❤
You can use almond butter instead of macadamia butter.
I just make some today and it came out good.
So appreciate people’s testimonials!!!
I don’t see a reply to Celmah’s question: can we use almond butter instead of macadamia butter?
Hey I am new to your website and I find it amazing ! My kitchen has everything coconut stocked : virgin coconut oil, coconut milk powder, coconut flour, coconut butter, coconut flakes. I want to try this macadamia nut chocolate cookies but can I use almond butter instead ? Thank you.
I made these today! First, I made the macadamia nut better. Holy cow is it delicious!! The cookies … week they taste delicious but they aren’t quite right. They spread quite a bit during baking, so they were very flat. They were slightly burnt around the edges, because I didn’t realize they were going to flatten so much and I left them in the oven the full 15 minutes. I did everything except I substituted Swerve brown sugar for the honey. Do you know if this would make such a difference? I realize this is a very old post and I may not get an answer. I’m definitely going to try them again.
Thank you for a lovely puddle of melted “cookies”. Followed the recipe exactly including the home made macadamia butter and it was a flop. What a waste of beautiful ingredients and my afternoon.
I would love to pre-order the cookbook but, I am allergic to almonds and can you tell me if a lot of the recipes call for almond flour? I love your stuff because it’s COCONUTs and don’t want to waste my money on a cookbook that I can’t use most of the recipes. I live in high-altitude area so it’s not real easy to just swap out flours and amounts, so I feel like I spend alot of money on recipes that flop instead of fly!! Thank you for your feedback, Wendy
