White chocolate was my dad’s not-so-secret love language. Whether it was Valentine’s Day, my birthday or a dance recital, he almost always had a box of white chocolates stashed somewhere for me. These days I’m more of a cauliflower pizza or steak or jalapeno poppers girl, but lately I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic for the creamy, vanilla-infused sweetness of white chocolate.
Adapted from this paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe, these white chocolate chip cookies are perfect for dunking in a cold glass of milk. I hope you love them!

White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe (Gluten-Free, Paleo)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot flour
- ¾ cup white chocolate chunks (I chopped up one of these bars)
- ½ cup macadamia nuts (plus more for pressing into the top of the cookies if desired)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 8 tbsp salted butter (½ cup melted over low heat)
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla (or make your own with this recipe)
Instructions
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, white chocolate chunks, macadamia nuts, cream of tartar and baking soda.
- Add egg, maple syrup, vanilla and butter to the bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Place dough in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes. While it's chilling, preheat the oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- When the dough is ready, scoop out a heaping tablespoon and roll the dough into a ball. It will be stick but should be firm enough to roll. Press it flat onto a baking sheet and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
- Bake at 325°F for 15-20 minutes, depending on how chewy/crisp you prefer your cookies. Enjoy!

Jack and I are planning to make these as a special treat for his dad next week. They look so good and white chocolate chip cookies are his favorite.
These look great! What can I use in place of the arrowroot flour? As I do not have any :(.
The cookies look good !!
But can you suggest anything other than chocolate please ?.
Would dried fruit be an option ? ( no nuts)
Many thanks
I am a white chocolate fiend! These look so good! Can I sub coconut flour or another flour? I am allergic to nuts. Thank you!!!
Some people use finely ground sunflower seed “flour” in place of almond flour. I haven’t tried it but it might work. 🙂
