FAQs on making these gluten-free white chocolate macadamia cookies:

1. Should I toast the macadamia nuts first? This is totally up to you, toasting the macadamia nut will change its flavor a bit.
2. I like a crispy cookie, can these get crispy? For sure! I would recommend playing with the temperature and the baking time. You can also try to reduce the time the dough is refrigerated. This will give you a flatter crispier cookie.
3. I don’t have gluten-free flour, can I still make these? If there is no gluten sensitivity you can always use a traditional flour which is traditionally a 1-to-1 sub with gluten-free oat flour.
