1¼ cups almond flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. baking powder

½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
¾ cup Erythritol Gold, packed

3 drops pure maple extract, optional
1 large egg
1 cup white chocolate chips
½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

In a small bowl combine the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using) and set aside.

Next, beat butter, golden monkfruit sweetener, vanilla and maple extract in stand mixer bowl until creamy.

Add the egg, beating the mixture on low.

Gradually pour in the almond flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined.

Lastly, mix in Lily's white chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.

Using a 1" cookie or ice cream scoop drop the cookies onto a silicone lined baking sheet (or lightly greased) baking sheet evenly spaced.

Allow cookies to cool 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Cook's Notes:

• Xanthan Gum helps the cookies hold together and form better. It is 100% optional.
• Do not skip chilling the dough. This is a very important step.
