Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies THM S, Low Carb
These are, as the kids say, Da Bomb! If you have macadamia nuts so much the better, otherwise slivered almonds work great.
As a lifelong, avid fan of chocolate chips, in general, the white chocolate chips have always been my favorite.
UPDATE: I recently made these using (affiliate link) Lily’s White Chocolate Chips and we like them way better than any other brand we’ve tried so far.
(Note: I’m giving you the link for reference because they are generally available at Kroger and/or Walmart pretty regularly).
I’ve thought many times about how great it would be to have access to them and even contacted Lily’s asking if they might develop any; years ago.
This cookie is not crispy but it’s not soft and delicate.
It is a firm dense cookie that will totally remind you of a real live white chocolate chip cookie!
Amazon doesn’t carry these new baking chips at the time of the writing of this post but they are available at most local Walmart stores in limited quantity so if you find them around be sure and buy a couple extra packets for your THM or KETO friends!
Here’s a quick shot I got on my phone of the baking chips at my local Wal-mart.
As you may have heard these white chocolate chips do melt into the cookie and sometimes out of the cookie. Here’s release that Bake Believe put out on the subject recently.
I noticed one THMer, Jennifer, had put her chocolate chips on top so I tried it and found that worked to bake the cookies first and then stick the chips on, seems sort of weird, but it does the trick.
As a compromise, I used 1/2 of the chips in the recipe and baked the cookies. Then I saved the other half and stuck them on top while they were still warm from the oven and soft. They will still be melty for a while, as shown but will mostly hold up if you don’t insert them while the cookies are still hot.
For a future batch, I will set my timer and allow them to cool for 5 minutes then add the chips and refrigerate them for a few minutes before attempting to stack them.

This recipe for Sugar Free White Chocolate Chip Cookies works best with a natural sweetener called Gentle Sweet but be aware of the following when using it:
THM Gentle Sweet is so authentically sugary sweet because it contains xylitol and high-quality stevia.
BUT xylitol is dangerous to pets so if yours have access to your treats be sure and use the Xylitol Free Gentle Sweet (the taste and texture are not quite spot on but still a great product.
To get the unique texture of a real white chocolate cookie, all dense and chewy I combined this finely milled unblanched almond flour (I get mine at WalMart) along with the highest quality oat fiber on earth! Aff link:
If you love cookies be sure and try some of my others:
Low Carb Snickerdoodles, THM S is a soft fragrant cinnamon sugar cookie, Carrot Cake Cookies are a super yummy sandwich cookie with two frosting/filling options. The Sugar Free Cranberry Walnut Cookie from a couple of years ago and I’ll be updating soon so stay tuned!
The Pecan Shortbread Cookie is my oldest posted cookie recipe and have been called THM Pecan Sandies and I’m not sure about that but they are really good! This is the recipe that I tweaked (replacing psyllium and protein powder with THM oat fiber and adding xanthan gum and egg). The texture on these was good before but it is incredible now!

NOTE: These cookies were converted from my shortbread cookie recipe and like that cookie, they will become nice and firm when totally cooled, but are easily broken until then so let them cool on the parchment before attempting to handle them.

Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve been craving white chocolate/macadamia nut cookies so badly! Now to just be able to beat the other local THM’ers to our Walmart to get some of the chips! 😂
Crystal if I were you I would keep in touch with the store management on it and try to get a heads up on deliveries. I think that they’ll be better stocked in August though, which is just a few days away!
Thank you Teresia! I was lucky enough to find them in stock today, so I got 2 bags, leaving plenty more on the shelf. I’m so excited to try your recipe tomorrow!
Oh good! I hope you enjoy it, Crystal!
When do you add the egg and xanthan gum?
Thanks for bringing that to my attention Kayla, I’ve fixed it in the post. The egg gets creamed together with the butter and cream cheese and the xanthan gum is added in with the flours.
Do you have a SKU or UPC number for those white chocolate chips? The link you provided requires one or the other to search. Thank you!
Hi Cathy. I’ve used that link a few times now and all I ever do is put my zip code in the area provided. Did you try that?
I hope I can find these white chocolate chips! These are my favorite cookies! Where is the south do u live I might have to take a road trip if I can’t find them in South Carolina !!
Lol, Michelle and I don’t blame you a bit. I’m in East Texas but I’m hearing that they’ll have these better stocked by August.
WHERE DO YOU GET LET’S BAKE BELIEVE WHITE CHOCOLATE FOR THE RECIPE?.
It’s been available at Walmart in limited quantities but from my understanding they may be fully stocked as soon as August 1st. <3
What an amazing recipe! So yummy! Thank you for this recipe! I have really missed these cookies! They are one of my favorites! Hugs!
Thanks so much, Sharon and I’ m so glad that you enjoyed them! <3
Yummy recipe! I gave them a try in my Instant Vortex Air Fryer. I’m a new user so I’m just experimenting, but they are really delicious!!!
Air fryer cookies, sound good to me, I’ll have to try it! Glad you enjoyed them. 🙂 <3
Cookies are tasty. However, it took my cookies forever to get done. Closer to 20 mins than 10. Also, I was confused as to why we were going to press half the chocolate chips in after baking…..didnt realize it was bc the other half cup in the batter was going to completely melt and seep out of the cookies all over the pan. Super frustrating as these ingre are spendy! I think i will.make these cookies again in future, but i will omit all chips from the batter and ONLY press chips in baked cookie….to eliminate mess and waste.
Hi CJ. Totally agree on the chip melting problem. As I mentioned in the post…
I was just talking to a friend about using only half the chips and making an alternate post for those who noticed a problem. I’m thinking it’s going to vary from oven temp to oven temp though so I want to give people a choice.
Mine did seep a little but not nearly all over the bottom of my parchment paper. I wanted some actual chips visible on the top so that’s why I suggested pressing them in.
I would suggest that you need to increase the sweetener to at least 1/2 cup if you reduce the white chocolate chips because they are very sweet and I had reduced the amount of sweetener in the cookies to allow for the extra sweetness.
Are these new chips soy free?
What is the sweetener used in these chips? Tried to find a web page for them for more info but was unable to. Thanks.
Do you know if we can just use baking blend instead and if so how much would you use?
Hi Shelly! I do love THM Baking Blend and use it in every recipe that I can. Here’s a link to all of my baking blend recipes as of last year and there are a LOT!
These cookies, however, what a unique texture that I’ve only been able to get when using this combo of almond flour and oat flour.
If you have a favorite chocolate chip recipe that you love though, you might can just leave out the chocolate and add the white chocolate chips as mentioned in this recipe.
Can I do this without oat fiber?
Hi Heather! I haven’t actually tried subbing anything for the oat fiber but, one of the THM Admins subbed coconut flour 1:1 for the oat fiber and said it worked!
I need to give it a go soon and see if it’s exactly the same as the oat fiber version but that’s going to be your best shot.
These were really good – five stars. The chips I added to the dough disappeared but the ones on top were good. I really like this dough recipe – I think it would be very versatile. I can see using it for jam thumbprints, for example. Will definitely make again. BTW, used macadamia nuts and did add one tsp vanilla to the recipe, otherwise all ingredients as written.
I’m so glad you enjoyed Kate! I’ll have to try it with vanilla. One of my test batches turned out with a funny flavor and it contained vanilla so I was afraid to try it in this dough but I’m a big vanilla fan. 🙂 <3
These are the best Keto cookies I have Eve tasted!
Yay, Judy! I’m so glad you enjoyed them and thanks so much for letting me know. 🙂 <3
These are AMAZING 😍!!!! This will be my go to recipe for cookies. I also made this one with ¼ tsp. Of blackstrap molasses, walnuts and the dark chocolate chips. My family is willing to eat THM because they get these for dessert. Thank you!!!
Wow Sarah, anytime the family agrees to eat THM is such a win! I’m so glad these cookies are a hit with y’all and I’ve actually been making the dark chocolate chip version too, just haven’t gotten it posted. 🙂
If you love this recipe be sure and try the slice and bake shortbread version (it’s the one I modified to create the white chocolate chip) it’s yummy too and SOOO easy! https://www.nanaslittlekitchen.com/pecan-shortbread-sugar-free-low-carb-s/
Can I use glucose instead of the xantham gum? Thanks!
Yes you can Jessica.
Can I use Lily’s white chocolate chips
Hi Robin. You can definitely use the Lily’s. I will go and add that recommendation to the recipe because I love that brand. <3
Hi Robin! You sure can use Lily’s white chocolate chips, aren’t they delicious?!
