A classic goes keto! Chewy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies get a low carb, sugar-free makeover. With awesome new keto-friendly white chocolate chips.
Finally, finally, finally! Finally someone has come out with a decent keto white chocolate, and I am over the moon about it. And of course, the first thing I had to make with them was White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. I mean, what other recipe could I use to test drive this new and exciting keto product?
Oh these cookies! Oh these gorgeous chewy keto cookies. You want these in your life. Preferably as soon as possible.
Where to find Keto White Chocolate Chips
In case you haven’t seen this new development, it’s a brand called Bake Believe and they are only available at Walmart in store. This is tough for me because I have no Walmarts very close to me and I like to shop locally as much as possible.
But I decided it was important to get my hands on some and test them out for keto baking purposes. So I traipsed all over Portland and Vancouver, Washington, looking for the damn things.
The first two stores I went to didn’t have them at all. The third had a space for them but none on the shelves. Fortunately, one kind employee looked in the back and found 6 bags. I bought all 6 of them.
Then she told me another “nearby” store carried them as well. Nearby turned out to be another 10 miles and after putting in so much effort, I decided to stock up. I bought another 10 bags. Plus I bought some of the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips as well.
Because I am crazy like that. And because I thought it would also be fun to do a giveaway for the chocolate chips, since I know full well they aren’t that easy to get your hands on. (scroll down to enter the giveaway!).
Are the Bake Believe Chips any good?
So here’s my expert assessment on these new sugar-free white chocolate chips:
They are very good, but they aren’t perfect. By which I mean that they do have some limitations, both in taste and in bake-ability.
The first thing I noticed is that they don’t taste quite like conventional white chocolate. They taste sweet and very good but it’s not exactly that white chocolate flavor. Close but not quite there. In a recipe, however, they play the white chocolate part very admirably.
The second thing is that they melt quite a bit and can almost disappear into the baked goods. For these keto white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, the chips toward the edges melted entirely away. Fortunately, I had hand-placed some chips right on the tops of the cookies and those held their shape and stayed in place.
I also made some white chocolate cups for my kids and I found that the chips melted well for covering and coating, so that’s a big plus.
I tried making keto chocolate fudge sauce with the dark chocolate chips and those didn’t melt as well. It was serviceable but didn’t melt as smoothly as Lily’s does. And the sauce became almost jelly-ish as it cooled. So I’d say that they don’t make great melting or couverture chocolate.
Update! I have now tried all three brands of keto white chocolate chips. Both ChocZero and Lily’s are far superior to Bake Believe.
Tips for Keto White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
So given the nature of these keto white chocolate chips, what’s the best way to use them for baking? Here are some tips for making these delicious keto cookies:
Shredded coconut makes them chewier: I really like this combo of almond flour and shredded coconut and I use it my regular keto chocolate chip cookies too. But you can use all almond flour if you prefer.
Gelatin is optional: but it also gives them a delicious chewiness. If you prefer your cookies more crisp, leave it out.
Brown sugar substitutes: I am ever so grateful for the development of Swerve Brown, as it truly bakes like brown sugar. If you don’t have access to a good brown sugar substitute, try adding in 1 to 2 teaspoons of Yacon syrup or molasses. It won’t add more than about 1g carbs per serving.
Chop the macadamia nuts: It’s best to chop these fairly finely so that the cookies hold together a little better. But you can have some bigger chunks in there too, for texture and visual interest.
Don’t add all of the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough: It’s best to hold some of them back and press them into the top of the cookies so that they show through when the cookies are baked.
BIG UPDATE!!! I have had a chance to try out the new ChocZero white chocolate chips and they are, in my opinion, superior. They don’t melt and disappear into the baked goods, they hold their chip shape. And they taste delicious and a bit more like you would expect from conventional white chocolate.
Give them space: These cookies do spread quite a bit so leave space between them!

A classic goes keto! Chewy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies get a low carb, sugar-free makeover. With awesome new keto-friendly white chocolate chips.
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cups shredded coconut (can use another 1/2 cup almond flour)
- 1 tbsp grassfed gelatin (optional)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup Swerve Brown
- 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts (finely chopped with a few bigger pieces)
- 1/3 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips (see recipe notes)
-
Preheat the oven to 325F and line two large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, gelatin, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sweeteners until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
-
Add the almond flour mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Stir in the macadamia nuts and most of the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
-
Roll the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and place several inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (they will spread). Press down to about 1/2 inch thickness with the heel of your hand.
-
Divide the remaining white chocolate chips among the cookies and press into the tops.
-
Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. The cookies will still be very soft. Remove and let cool completely on the pan. (If your oven cooks unevenly, you can switch the pans halfway through baking).
Recipe Video
As I stated above in my review, the Bake Believe white chips do seem to melt away easily. So it's best to hold them back and press them into the top of the cookies. You can press some into the dough as well as gently pressing few into the top so that they show when the cookies are done baking.
BIG UPDATE!!! I have had a chance to try out the new ChocZero white chocolate chips and they are, in my opinion, superior. They don't melt and disappear into the baked goods, they hold their chip shape. And they taste delicious and a bit more like you would expect from conventional white chocolate.
Pan says
I love white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies and this is exactly why I’ve been wanting these who’re chocolate chips! So exciting.
Pat Wagner says
White chocolate and macadamia nuts are my favorite cookies? Thanks, Carolyn for making them keto friendly!
Gretchen says
These look amazing!!! I’m off to Walmart to see if I can snag some bags myself! 🙂 Thanks so much for the heads up! I have been missing these exact cookies in my life!!
Claudia Mancilla says
Dude these look soooo good!
Sherri VanNatta says
My favorite cookie made possible, thank you!!
Christine Macdonald says
I can’t wait to try these, they are one my favourites! Hopefully Walmart in Canada will sell the White Chocolate Chips!
Linda S says
Cant wait to try these!
Bernadette says
These chips are nowhere to be found in S. New England! I’m dying to try them!
Carolyn says
So one thing I discovered you can do is look on the Bake Believe website. They will say which Walmarts carry them and then you can even click through that and the Walmart site will tell you whether they are in stock or not!
Cynthia says
That is fantastic news-thanks for sharing all this!
RoxAnne Kuiper says
OMG! Happy dancing over here. 💃💃💃💃
I’ve Been to every store imaginable in my little corner of Ontario, Canada (Amazon included) with the BIGGEST craving for white chocolate…. Sadly nothing even close to keto-able has been found.
I’ve even tried to make my own…. 😔 Don’t recommend that.
Thank you so much for all the wisom, knowledge and expertise you share. It’s gotten me outta a few baking scrapes and taught me so much. Keto has become a lifestyle change I will never stop enjoying. There’s so much to try and this bored(with the standard American diet) foodie doesn’t have enough hours in her day to try all the things she wants too! But: I have a lifetime of keto ahead of me and that is so exciting.
Sending you good vibes always!
#ketoforeveryone #itsalifestylechange #itllchangeyourlife
Jess says
Fellow Ontarian here! I’m sure you found something suitable since keto became much more popular but in the off chance you haven’t (or haven’t found anything good), try Lily’s White Chocolate Baking Chips from Natura Market. While you’re at it, try their caramel covered chocolate too! Both are out of this world!!!
Michael Aboulafia says
Bernadette I found my white chocolate chips on Amazon! Just made these cookies can’t wait to try them they are cooling.
Jeanne Carey says
Is there a vegetarian substitute for gelatin?
Carolyn says
I am honestly not sure.
Kimberly says
Vital wheat gluten works well to add elasticity & structure. I buy Anthony’s from Amazon. I use I scoop (provides in the bag) & then enough flour to measure to recipe. (So for this recipe, one scoop plus enough flour to meet the 1 1/2 c.)
Hope this helps. Blessed baking! 😉
Pat says
I’ve been waiting for this recipe! They look like the white chocolate chip macadamia cookies from Subway. I’ve been a subscriber and love your recipes and cookbooks.
Karla Uphoff says
These look amazing!!! Can’t wait to try them.
Kathryn says
I would love to try this recipe!

My favorite cookie, must try.
Deborah says

Amy Proctor says
Can’t wait to try these.
Rachel says
These look wonderful. Can’t wait to try them
Patricia says
Wow, these look so good, and white chocolate chips! I am going to check those out at WalMart. Just wondering….do you think a flax egg will work in these cookies. I have to be egg free! Allergic!
Carolyn says
I don’t think they will but I’ve never tried, to be honest. However, if you want a good egg-free cookie, try my Butter Pecan Cookes, then leave out the pecans and add the white chocolate chips and some chopped macadamias. https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Butter-Pecan-Cookies-1.jpg
Tonnia Williams says
My niece told me the Walmart I order groceries from once every 2 week (it’s 85 miles away) has them so I ordered them for my grocery pickup today. I have my fingers crossed that they are still in stock. I wasn’t sure what I would use them for so your recipe came just in time.
Karin says
I found a recipe for Keto White Chocolate covered balls for Christmas and would love to try these chips!
Carolyn says
Sounds delicious!
Michelle says
I followed all the recipe tips and these turned out wonderful!
Kathy says
These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies of course! My husband has been trying to go keto for some time and these cookies are just the ticket to get him to stop cheating. Also looking forward to trying white chocolate cranberry fudge for the holidays – may need a little experimentation there.
Carolyn says
Oh, that’s one I plan to try too! 🙂
Laurie Penninga says
I wonder if it would work to freeze the white chocolate chips so they don’t melt as easily in the cookies?
Vicki White says
Once again, you have given us a beloved recipe ketofied. I can’t wait to use these chips in this family favorite. I also want to try them in chocolate cookies. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a bag.
Tresa says
I love white chocolate too. I use to regularly buy a white chocolate raspberry cookie when I ate high carb. I’d love to try making your new recipe and recreating a Keto version of my old favorite. My Wal-Mart does not carry Bake Believe Chips. I’ll try requesting them but people in my small southern town arn’t very health conscious. 😕
Stacie says
These look so yummy!
Sandra Pellerin says
I would like to make this recipe with the white chocolate chips. They look yummy. Thanks for the recipe and the giveaway.
Cam says
I don’t know how, but all I did was think about a keto white chocolate macadamia nut cookie yesterday and sure enough the next morning Google read my thoughts or something because this was suggested in my feed. Very weird. But since I’m here, I think I will try this, but I would replace the white chocolate for cocoa butter chunks and take it a step further by dividing those chunks into smaller “chips”. Cocoa add saturated fats into the mix and turn this from low-carb into a proper keto cookie. Tastes relatively the same to me as white chocolate without the carbs. If necessary, I’m sure on could melt the cocoa butter down and then add in a swerve or stevia sugar substitute to “sweeten” the chips a bit.
Carolyn says
Hi Cam. I understand what you’re saying but it won’t work. For one… the cocoa butter will melt entirely away in your cookies. For another, it’s a tricky substance to work with and I have tried multiple times to make keto white chocolate. It just doesn’t come out the same. Without a commercial conching machine to work the sweetener into the cocoa butter, it becomes gritty, it often separates, and it doesn’t have real white chocolate flavour.
I have tried and tried, and there are a number of other bloggers who have “white chocolate” recipes and to be frank, none of them are very good. But you are welcome to try!
Lisamarie says
These were always my favorite type of cookie from Costco. Thank you for ketofying it!
Barb G says
Can’t wait to try these!!
Carey says
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’ve had difficulty getting these chips locally.
Kate says
I have tried these and agree about the taste – not quite there. They taste a little ‘icy” and not quite creamy enough. I suppose that is due to the sweetener. They do have classic clean ingredients and the price ($3.99 for 9 oz) is more than fair. On another note, Walmart is now carrying Lily’s chips as well as Swerve. I find the Lily’s milk chocolate chips to be very good. I like to melt them down and refreeze them with whole almonds for a Hershey’s bar with almonds experience.
Katie says
I miss cookies so much. Reducing my carb intake led me to believe I would have to give up the treats I love. You have completely proven me wrong time and time again. This recipe is no different. Looks delicious.
I entered your give away for a chance to make these cookies specifically. My husband loves white chocolate and I have not been able to find a white chocolate substitute in my journey this far.
Thank you for all that you do 🙂
Sandy says
Can’t wait to try your recipes
Rebeca M says
I can’t wait to try this recipe!!!
Angela says
I just bought a few “regukar” white chocolate macadamia nut cookies for my boys and was aoooo tempted to eat one. NIW I dint have to be! I cant wait to find these so I can make some. All if your recipes are so tempting!😊
Shontel Bordelon says
Ohhh YUM these look amazing !!! Can’t wait to try these!!! Fingers crossed!! 🙂
Elena Goodwin says
I can’t wait to make these once I find those white chocolate chips. This is my favorite cookie ever.
Linda says
I’ve been wanting to try these, but I can’t drive all over the place to look for them. I don’t drive anymore due to vision issues. I looked at the local walmarts online, but only found the dark chocolate. I live in Vancouver. I’d love to know which store had all of them.
I’m a recipe creator, but I don’t have a blog or anything. I just like to play in my kitchen. I’ll probably use them to test chaffle recipes. I’ve been really enjoying the chaffle craze lately. 🙂
Carolyn says
Oh I am happy to help! The store I found a bunch at was on SE 192nd ave, way out in East Vancouver. The one that I cleared out of chips was at Mill Plain Plaza.
Pam says
Carolyn….Thank you for the heads up on the white chocolate morsels. I bought 3 bags at my local Walmart. I made a batch of these, today. Once baked, the white chocolate morsels did not look like yours. Even though I went by your guidelines of putting the morsel on top, they still melted into the cookie. The cookie itself tasted great. Don’t know if I should add the morsels half way through baking or place on the cookie once removed from the oven while still hot.
Any suggestions?
Carolyn says
Okay good to know. I added mine at the beginning to the top but maybe halfway through would work for you. I think it can depend on your oven. I recently baked some scones with them inside and because they baked longer, they totally melted away. I think the shorter baking time allows at least some of the morsels to survive when they are on top but if your oven bakes a little on the hot side, that could be an issue.
Pam says
Thanks, for your reply, Carolyn…….Since I still have plenty of cookie dough leftover, I’ll experiment and let you know.
Amy says
I can’t wait to try these cookies!
Heather Eidemiller says
These sound amazing! Im so excited to try them! Thank you!!
Chris Houck says
Hi Carolyn,
Well I guess you got all all the white chocolate chips in my area too! LOL! I will wait until Walmart restocks before heading over there. Thank you for the recipe -my husband loves macadamia nuts so we’ll both love these!
Carolyn says
I just might have! 🙂
Karen Johansen says
Carolyn, as you know I live in San Diego and it has been an Easter Egg hunt to find these in stock at our Walmarts! I have yet to be able to try them and very frustrating 🙁 Cookie Monster that I am I would love to this give-a-away! Pick me pick me! (As the little girl jumps up and down) xoxo
Carolyn says
So before you go hunting all over… Go to the bake believe website and click on their links to see which Walmarts carry them. Then from there, there’s a link where you can actually see which stores have them in stock!
Kristyn says
Can’t wait to use these for white chocolate peanut butter cups!
Amanda Shaw says
I am SO excited to try these cookies! I’m a cookie addict so these will definitely help me on my Keto journey! Your recipes never fail to impress me. If I win the chips I’d definitely be spending time in the kitchen making some Keto friendly cookies for the upcoming holidays so I don’t feel tempted to cheat!
Danni says
I can’t find the bake believe chops anywhere near me so it would be amazing to win some. I love white chocolate cookies and have missed them. I wonder if freezing the chips before mixing them in the dough would make a difference.
Stacia says
I’m so excited about these!! Hoping I can find them near me!!
Diane says
I bought another brand of low carbs chips and they totally melted into the cookies I made. They solidified in the frig and I could eat them. I’d like to try the regular chocolate chips in that recipe. I’d give the white chocolate chips to family as I’m not fond of white chocolate.
Jennifer Prekopa says
Lily’s now has white chocolate chips, too! Just discovered them at Dillons this week. Funny enough, I can’t find their other chocolate chips there. At Walmart, I can find the chocolate, but not the white. I am planning to make these this week, and I cannot wait!
Sandy Sanger says
Can’t wait to try these cookies
Tamera Alexander says
Thanks for telling us about those chips. I will look for them at my Walmart! And I look forward to using them in these cookies this next week!
Robin Gimez says
Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
Jennifer Mullen says
I can’t wait to try these! They look positively decadent!
Susan Hanemaayer says
Can’t wait to try this recipe and since I’m in Canada we won’t be getting them for a while.
Carolyn says
I know, I suspect it will take a while. Being Canadian myself, I know my sis has trouble getting a lot of the things i can get south of the border.
Karen Wood says
These were one of my favorite cookies, pre-keto. Thanks for the recipe and the tips about using the chips. I’m off to see if my Walmart carries them!
Jean Frederickson says
Hi, I would bake white chocolate, macadamia nut cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. Since eating keto I miss these particular cookies.
Frances says
OMG .. I’m going to Walmart to find the whit chocolate chops .. my husband is not a chocolate fan .. so I’m making him these cookies!
Katie Pearson says
I have yet to try the Bake Believe chips. I do use Lilys and I made a white chocolate dish with cocao butter. But I sure love all your recipes. Thank you.
Jenny Young says
Cookies of course!
Jennifer Nicholas says
Can’t wait to try!
Leslie says
Looking forward to making these cookies. Now to find the white chips.
KellyJo says
Love cookies!!!!!!!!
Teresa Carter says
Hi! Cookies, cookies and more cookies!
Carolyn says
My thoughts exactly…
Nancy Dion says
My favorite cookies at Subway are the macadamian nuts and white chocolate ones. I would love to be able to bake a keto version at home!
Claudia says
I adore white chocolate so I got so excited when I saw you found these baking chips in Vancouver…but then, I saw the “Washington” part 🙁
Unfortunately, Walmart on this side of the border isn’t offering any of the Bake Believe products at this point. Hope springs eternal, though, so I will keep pestering (er, checking).
I would be thrilled to win some, because these cookies sound scrumptious!
Claudia says
FYI: Luckily, we’re only missing out on WHITE chocolate baking chips here in Canada. Keto semi-sweet chocolate baking chips are available at most big grocery stores (Lily’s everywhere, and Krisda in a growing number of places) and Lily’s milk chocolate chips are available at local low-carb grocery stores as well as online.
Diane says
Cannot wait to try this recipe!!
Res says
I love your recipes
Michelle says
That’s encouraging that you found them in Canada! Hopefully, they’ll eventually make it out east, too. 🤞 Will keep checking online in the meantime. Thank you so much for telling us about this! And for your diligence in hunting them down for your loyal following. Long live dessert for breakfast!
Carolyn says
If you’re directing this at me, I didn’t find them in Canada. I found them in Vancouver, Washington.
Lisa says
Thank you for the recipe! I can’t wait to try it.
Carissa says
I would use these chips to make this recipe. These are my favorite cookies. Also, my IG name autocorrected and I hit submit before I caught the error. The name should be carissawv.
Kim Pitts says
I REALLY want to make these!! I have searched all my local Walmart stores weekly to no avail for these chips!!!
Jen says
I cannot wait to make these!!
Tracy says
I found all three kinds of these chips a couple of months ago and have been waiting for a good recipe. Good to know how the chips behave in a cookie. I have everything waiting to be put together. I’m sure using your recipe they will be delicious. I’ve snitched a few in the meantime and really like them. I went back to Walmart and picked up some more too.
Carolyn says
Let me know what you think of the cookies!
Kay Little says
I look forward to many recipes using this product!
Kay Little says
Can’t wait to make some cookies with a bag of the white, the dark and the semisweet Bake Believe Chocolate Chips
Connie Gutierrez says
Been waiting patiently for you to post this recipe!! And I got lucky and found the white chocolate chips at my nearest Walmart today. Cannot wait to make these! Thanks Carolyn!!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Connie!
Twila says
Can’t wait to try these!
Beth DAVIS says
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I have tried the white chocolate Bake Believe and although they were a bit sweet, I made some cookie dough fat bombs and used them along with lillys chips and they were yummy!! Souble trouble!!!
I also used them in my coffee to make a white chocolate mocha!! 1 Tablespoon of chips steamed into the almond milk and blended in the bullet, turned out great!
I am sure I would whip up lots more yummies if I won the chips! Thabk you for all your inspiration!!
Carlyn Grocholski says
Excited to try these!
Monica says
White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are my favorite!!!
Ginger says
Yum! Can’t wait to make this recipe

I really look forward to baking these cookies and will check my local Walmart. And, I am already a subscriber.
candace says
cioioooookies
Sarah says
Cant wait to try this recipe…….I dont have the best of luck with keto baking. I cant get past the cooling
effect swerve leaves behind. Any advice on how to get rid of that? My husband and I both are keto the cooling effect foesnr bother him but I cant stand it.
Carolyn says
Try using half Swerve and half Bocha Sweet. I don’t suggest all Bocha Sweet because it’s expensive and because it will make your cookies very soft, rather than crisp. https://amzn.to/2O2gOak
Erica B says
Consider trying another sweetener, Sarah. There are many brands of sugar-free natural sweeteners out there, and even though erythritol is the main ingredient in most of them, they do taste noticeably different. Our family prefers Lakanto, usually with an added dash of allulose, if appropriate for the recipe. There’s also Sukrin, Pyure, SoNourished, and I’m sure many others. Sweeteners are pricy, but if you can buy small bags of other brands to test, you just might find a favorite.
Jennifer says
Thank you for another great recipe. I just put these on my Walmart grocery order.
Melanie says
I’d probably make these cookies or a dark and white chocolate chip cookie.
D Campbell says
These look wonderful!! Thanks for all you efforts to keep healthy eating fun and in balance with life.
Elisa says
These look amazing! I wish we could get Bake Believe products in Canada. I would love to make these cookies and to try the white chocolate chips in a pumpkin spiced cookie as well.
Julie D says
These cookies sound amazing!! Hope I can find some of these to make this recipe! 😊
Ashlee says
These look DIVINE!
Jolene says
I’d be making these! I love macadamia nuts so this would be an awesome recipe to try.
pdxgirl says
FYI – Winco has all swerve sweeteners on sale for $5.98 a package,
Kathy Carter says
I can’t wait to try these cookies. They look so good!
Lori says
These cookies look divine and I’m excited to try the white chocolate chips. I know you’ve mentioned in other blog posts that there haven’t been good options. I make a white chocolate mousse that is only white chocolate chips, some gelatin, and whipped cream. I wonder if this brand would work in that recipe. I’ll have to try to find some in my area and give it a go.
Marla O`Steen says
Hi Carolyn! I would love to try these new chips in several of your cookie receipts! I saw them at our WalMart (Southern California) but hesitated in trying them since I didn’t trust some of the reviews I saw. So I must admit I’d love to win so I can try them!
Toni L McFadden says
I just made these in the sugar/flour version for my husband. I’m so excited to try them in a safe cookie for me!
Pam says
Carolyn, I baked these again without the white chocolate morsels. Instead, I used them after the cookie was baked. Worked! The morsels stayed really soft for awhile. I refrigerated the cookies for several minutes. The morsels set up perfectly. Great tasting cookie! Thanks, Carolyn….Your recipes are awesome!!!
Carolyn says
Sounds good! Glad it worked.
Gale Dacalio says
I hope I win. I love mac nut cookies. I would make your recipe with tbe chips. I also would like.to make my own chips
Candice Walker says
I can’t wait to try this recipe. They look good! I did try one and little bit ago and it was ok. I did notice how they melt but I loved the crispiness of them once melted. Your recipes always make me excited to bake. 😊 Thank you for sharing.
Leanne Weber says
I’m still waiting to find these in Ontario!!
Janene says
I keep looking at the Walmarts around me and I can’t find any! I think people are hoarding these bad boys. lol!
carol jones says
I can’t wait to try this! My hubbys favorite cookies!

Mary Claire says
Ready to try this recipe as soon as I can get the keto white choc chips! Yum-O!
Rachel says
I would love to make these cookies! They’re my husband’s favorite and he hasn’t had them since starting keto a year and a half ago!
So Young says
Ugh!! They don’t carry these baking chips anywhere near my radius. Gonna have to definitely try this recipe with the other brands! Brings back memories of cookie binging at Subways haha
Gina says
This changes everything! I’m super excited to try these.
Linda says
This is my favourite type of cookie! Thanks for the recipe!
Stacey says

So excited to try this recipe 😍 I love macadamia nuts and baking is a staple for me. Now I just need to get my hands on some of the white chocolate chips.
Kate says
I would use the white chocolate chips to make your recipe…it sounds so good!
Missy says
Can’t wait to try these white chocolate chips as I can not eat regular chocolate.

If I win I would make these for sure!
Sumer says
Looks delish!! I was at Walmart today but didn’t see these:(
Jane says
My son and I llllooooovvvve white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I’d love to try your recipe and maybe try a white chocolate cheesecake recipe!

Carolyn says
Great idea!
Angelique Greetham says
OMG So excited to try these!! I made some from another recipe but they were very oily. I bet your recipe is perfect as always!
Tamara says
I cannot wait to try these chocolate chips! My husband is a chocoholic. He loves all things milk and dark. I think I have him hooked on Keto, as that’s all I cook now, but he says it’s only because of the chocolate desserts. My favorite chocolate is white, and my favorite cookie is white chocolate macadamia nut. So excited to make these!! Thank you alldayidreamaboutfood! Your recipes are always on point!
Stef Read says
Putting them inside fresh raspberries as a nice little snack.
Mary Sheiko says
I’m totally making this recipe! White chocolate macadamia nut cookies really take me back.
Erin says
I was thinking a raspberry white chocolate chip cookie or bar! I tried contacting this company to get thrown to our Kodiak AK Walmart, and they won’t ship to me. Guess I need to speak to the (Walmart) Manager! These will be here in my Walmart or I will go chocolate crazy trying! Ha!
How do the regular dark chocolate chips compare to Lily’s? In taste?
Carolyn says
Honestly for the regular chips, these taste okay but I still like Lily’s better.
Erin says
Oh oh oh! I remember what I need to do with these!! My old college had a coffee shop with the BEST muffin…ready? It was Pumpkin white chocolate chip with a chai tea glaze and chopped macadamias on top. It was heavenly and started my pumpkin obsession! I am thinking of a keto reincarnation…
Pamela Heatley says
Can’t wait to try. Have only had Lily’s brand chocolate so I would love to win your raffle and try this new brand
Zenobia says
As with everything you share – these look amazing!
Lia says
I have been waiting forever for this recipe!!! I can’t wait to try it out, especially since I just had to throw out so much food from a moth infestation 😭
Carolyn says
Oh no, that’s awful!
Alyssha says
Wow! These look incredible! Was just posting in the Facebook group about my undying love for your cranberry muffins and how I was on a vision quest all over town for fresh cranberries tonight – to no avail! I’ve waited all year literally dreaming about your cranberry muffins. So good with a pat of salted butter on top.

Okay, Carolyn. . . I hurried over to my local Walmart (about 2.5 miles away), and the Bake Believe White Chocolate chips were sold out!! I snagged two bags of the dark chocolate chips. It made me wonder if your followers in my area beat me to those White Choc Chips??!! I will make those Keto White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies as soon as I get the white choc chips. Thanks!

Definitely want to try Bake Believe! I look every time I go to Walmart, but they are not in my store. Hopefully, people will buy them so Walmart will expand the stores that sell them:) White chocolate chip cooks with macadamia nuts are one of my favorites!
Evie says
The Choc-Zero chips are by far the best chips. I have found them at Amazon and the Choc-Zero website. Even without Carolyn’s discount buying them from Choc-Zero is a lot cheaper. I can buy 2 bags for 11.98 or at Amazon for 14.99. Carolyn’s link gives us a 10 percent discount.
These chips do not cause me any discomforts.
Jean Hufford says
Delicious 😋 these chips are very close! Thank you!
Kim Williams says
One of my favorite cookies!
Heather says
I can’t wait u til I can get my hands on these white chocolate chips, my daughter wants them so badly as we haven’t found a good keto recipe for them yet. Wish I had found this recipe for my daughters wedding before I made regular cookies, lol.

I think I’d use the white baking chips in your blondies recipe. My mom used to make blondies with white chocolate chips all the time. It was a family favorite. She’s gone now and I’m keto, so I haven’t had them forever.
Lisa J says

On a side note my hairdresser and her daughter are just starting out on keto and I have sold them on your website for sure. They say it’s helped them decide what to cook next when they get tired of the same old meat and vegetable routine.
Carolyn says
Thanks for a chance at trying them, Carolyn! I’ve been all over southeast Iowa and no place has them. I did use the store-finder, all of them are well over an hour away, but they would be sold out. Grr
Trina says
This looks so good, I would totally try it if I could get some bakebelieve chips.
Robin says
So excited! White chocolate is my favorite!
Rose says

Kellie Mathis says
Yum!
Karishma Pires says
Sweets are my weakness and the hardest part of being on Keto. If I can get some of my favorite cookies in a Keto recipe, I’m definitely using these chocolate chips for that! I can’t wait to try them!
Crystal Cantú says
I would love to get some of these chips, especially for baking which is one of my favorite weekend activities. Where I live we have very little access to products that are out of the norm…to the internet is where I usually go. This recipe seems simple and I appreciate you giving tips based upon your experience.
Lisa Stewart says
This is a recipe I will definitely try. These are one of my all time favorite cookies. I would love to win these white chocolate chips since I cannot afford to buy them and it would be so cool to actually win! I have loved every recipe of yours that I have tried and I have even gotten my boyfriend to try them as well.
Jennifer Prekopa says
Cannot wait to tru these!!! Next to oatmeal raisin, these are my favourite cookies. <3
Deborah says
Thank you for including Canadians in your contest. If I got my hands on these chips I would make these cookies. I love macadamia nuts in cookies and don’t eat chocolate. (Could cause a migraine.) Family eats chocolate though. So will find creative ways to use it all. Wonder if this brand is sold in Canada?
Kathryn Woodall says
White chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies were my favorite cookie. I’m so excited to get to try a keto version of them!!
Paul says
Hiya, thanks for this recipe and will use Bake Believe for this and also a white chocolate chip banana coconut bread thtat I make which normally has dark chips, but will be awesome with white.
Terri says
I’d make your cookies. Thank you for the chance to win these, I can’t find them where I live yet.
Stephanie KL says
I’m looking forward to making Blondies, both brown butter and chocolate ones with the white chips.
Val says
I need to try these
Sherry C. says
Hmmmm, I think the first thing I’d put these in is a chocolate chaffle!
Toni Doel says
Cannot wait to try the white chocolate chips! Thanks for the contest!
Kareen K. says
Can’t wait to get my hands on the white chocolate chips and make these cookies! Your recipes seem to be the only ones I can fool my non-Keto family with!
Pam says
I want to make these amazing-looking cookies!
Charmaine Yee-Rowland says
Looking forward to trying the chocolate chips and this recipe!
Kathleen Pancoast says
Hope I can find these in my local Walmart!
Kathleen Pancoast says
I just googled bake believe and they are available on Amazon!!
Carolyn says
Yes, but WAYYYYYY more expensive through a third party seller.
Lori A says
I would love to use the chips to make these cookies! Macadamia nut is my husbands favorite cookie.
Janie says
Yes, if I win the white chocolate chips… I would like to make these macadamia nut cookies. Looke so so delicious! 😋
Carla says
So excited for the chance to try these cookies
Emma says
I already subscribe! And I would probably either eat these chips straight out of the bag or else dip a spoon in peanut butter and then in the chips. Especially the white chocolate ones– yum!`
cherie says
For me choclate white chocolate cookies!
Ann Bailey says
I definitely want to make these cookies!!! Chewy white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies, a cheesecake and I think I’ll make it through the holidays 🙂
Bill Wilson says
These are the best white chocolate macadamia nut cookies I’ve ever had, keto or not! They are insanely good! They taste like something from Mrs. Fields or a similar shop. I got my chips on Amazon, and I used all almond flour and left out the gelatin. Also, I used roasted, salted macadamia nuts from Costco. Perfection!
Carolyn says
Wow! I am delighted by your review!
Sharon E says
I used Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Natural Almond Flour and wonder if I should have used Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour from Blanched Whole Almonds? Although they are DELICIOUS the texture and taste of the cookies seemed to be a tiny little bit “off”. I used all almond flour, no coconut and omitted the gelatin otherwise following the recipe as written. Any feedback would be appreciated:) Thanks!
Carolyn says
Well, yes the natural includes the skins which is never going to give you as fine a cookie as the blanched. And the skins do have a certain flavor so that was probably part of it.
Raewynne says
Hi Carolyn, could you please let me know what the difference gelatine makes to the recipe? I’m contemplating waiting until I have some before I make them. Thanks
Carolyn says
It makes them chewier.
Katie says
SO good! The flavor is spot on. I can’t believe these are keto.
Katerina @ diethood .com says
I can’t wait to try these!! They sound incredibly delicious!!
Sara says
These are incredible. I was a little skeptical but they came out amazing!
wilhelmina says
I hope my local walmart begins carrying these chips soon because I am dying to try these cookies! This is by far my fav flavor!
Becky Hardin says
These are the best cookies!
Wendy says
I just made these and they smell and look delicious. I am waiting for them to cool to taste but I’m drooling just looking at them!! LOL I followed your instructions exactly and I think that I would try what another reviewer mentioned, and that is add the chips half way thru the cooking process. My chips melted by the time the 14 min cooking was done, but I did check them at 7 min in and they looked perfect. So my only recommendation (and what I will do next time) is take out the cookies half way through cooking and add the chips then! Thank you so much for all of your incredible recipes, it makes doing the Keto Diet so much easier and so much more fun!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Wendy. I had the ones I put on top look great after baking but who knows exactly what makes the difference!
Wendy says
I just wanted to add… HOLY MOLY… these cookies are friggin AHHHHMAZING!! YAY!! Even with the melted chips the flavor is perfect!! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!
Kay says
Made these today and they are a homerun! What is the best way to store them? Thank you for another great bake!
Carolyn says
Depends on how quickly you will eat them. On the counter is fine for 4 to 5 days, but refrigerate or freeze if you think they will be around longer.
Susan says
Do u think u could bake this as a bar cookie ? In one pan ?
Carolyn says
Absolutely!
Jeri says
I baked these cookies last night at 9pm! Oh my goodnees! They are delicious! Did not use gelatin and put chips on top of cookie after 12 minutes…put them back in oven for just a couple of minutes. I just love them!
Sheila says
I’ll have to try the choczero white chocolate chips because the bake believe ones cause me TREMENDOUS gas. It’s crazy, because it’s only the white chocolate chips in that brand.
Jean says
Did anyone actually make these? I was so excited. Followed the recipe exactly and they did not turn out at all. The cookies did not spread at all. Remained in a ball. I see lots of comments saying they were looking forward to trying them, but few who actually reported on how they turned out after making them.. I’d look elsewhere. This recipe did not turn out at all.
Carolyn says
Hi Jean, if they stayed in a ball, then you did not actually follow the recipe, as it instructs you to press them down with the heal of your hand to 1/2 inch thick – thus already they would no longer be a ball.
As for people who actually made the recipe, many have and love them. Here are a few comments from folks you clearly missed…
“I just wanted to add… HOLY MOLY… these cookies are friggin AHHHHMAZING!! YAY!! Even with the melted chips the flavor is perfect!! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!”
“Made these today and they are a homerun! What is the best way to store them? Thank you for another great bake!”
“I baked these cookies last night at 9pm! Oh my goodnees! They are delicious! Did not use gelatin and put chips on top of cookie after 12 minutes…put them back in oven for just a couple of minutes. I just love them!”
So you can see that people who did make them as written had no issues.
Christine says
Thank you for the tips on the Bake Believe chips. I have the white chocolate ones and haven’t baked with them because I have been snacking on them with macadamia nuts LOL! The chips are very sweet on their own but with the salt from the macadamia nuts they are perfect. I would love to use the Choc Zero chips but sadly their products spike my BG like crazy. So happy to have an alternative 🙂
Rebekah says
I would love to make the dough for these and refrigerate the dough for company. Will these work after being refrigerated a few days (the dough?) Thank you!
Kate says
Made these as directed, with the exception of also adding in some dark chocolate chips. I used the Choc Zero white chocolate chips (available in single or multiple bags on Amazon). The only macadamia nuts available at my store were the roasted, salted macadamia nuts; while the recipe does not specific to, I assume it calls for raw. I made sure to use unsalted butter in the recipe, and did not adjust the amount of salt. No issues, and these were a huge hit!
Kate says
I also tried a few the WC chips mixed in and afew with them placed on top (per the directions). Can confirm that the latter works much better, as the chips do dissolve into the dough while baking. I expected these to spread due to the high butter content, but they kept their shape. I used a melon ball scoop to keep the sizes consistent.
Carolyn says
It does call for raw but honestly, the salted ones might be kind of good!
Shirley says
Fabulous! The coconut and gelatin were perfect additions, gave them the best texture I have had in a keto cookie. And they had the same texture the next day. I used Lilly’s dark chocolate chips. Thank you.
TK says
I have made these cookies three times in one week because everyone just LOVED them. I quote from multiple anti-keto family members, “these taste just like subway cookies!” Subs I used was 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum instead of gelatin because I didn’t have any. Also, added 3/4 cup Bochasweet in place of both sugars. Just fantastic! I wish I could give you more stars. I always come to you when looking up new keto recipes!!!
Magdalena Eslimi says
I just made these cookies and they are delicious.
The only issue I have is that I used the Bake Believe White Chocolate Chips and they dissolved while baking. I used Lily’s semisweet chocolate chips for another bath and they turned fine.
Carolyn says
Yes, those ones do. I recommend the ChocZero chips instead. If you use FOODDREAMER, you can get 10% off anytime on their products. http://shop.choczero.com/?utm_campaign=fooddreamer&utm_source=leaddyno&utm_medium=affiliate#_a_fooddreamer
Anita Sue Coleman says
I am concerned about the corn fiber in the ChocZero products. Please advise.
Carolyn says
All I care about is whether it spikes my blood sugar. These chips do not. But you must do what makes you feel right.
Marti says
Made these today and they are delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and used choc zero chips. Thanks for the recipe!
Carol P. says
Lily’s now makes a white chocolate chip that works beautifully with thus recipe. And this is the BEST recipe for lie carb cookies ever.
Paula says
Baking these up as I type! My husband is a white chocolate fanatic, so when the chips arrived in the mail today, I knew I’d have to bake these immediately (before he could eat the chips right out of the bag!). Thanks for a nice, easy ingredient list – they smell fantastic!
Evie says
I just made these and they smell amazing. But, they really spread out thin. I used 1 stick of butter. Do you think that instead of 1/2 cup of coconut, I could use 1/2 cup of coconut flour? Would that help soak up the butter?
Carolyn says
Okay, I just re-read your comment… a stick is only 1/2 cup so that’s fine. PHEW. But no no no to the coconut flour – 1/2 cup of coconut flour is a HUGE amount, you’d only want about 2 tbsp (that’s why I said it sounded like you had never worked with coconut flour). If your cookies are thin, they really just need a bit more almond flour. Sounds like yours was under-measured. Or you are using a more coarsely ground one, which let’s the butter leach out.
Evie S says
Thank you!
I made the cookies again. The almond flour is super fine. I used 2 cups of almond flour this time and added 2 tablespoons of coconut flour. After mixing it, I let it sit in the fridge over night. These turned out awesome! They look the way they are suppose to and taste like regular cookies! Thanks for such a quick response. I will be checking out more of your recipes.
p.s.
My husband can stay out of the cookies!
Evie S says
Thats suppose to read my husband can’t stay out of the cookies!
stephanie says
These are the first cookies I made, my oven cooks very unevenly so some were perfect and some very done, not burnt just very brown so some were chewy and other crisp like a store bought cookie…..I’ve already eaten 6….thank you so much for your holiday cookie email!
Carolyn says
If you can remember to, rotating you pan halfway through cooking can help when you have hot spots like that.
Michelle M says
Made these tonight and they were so delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Tara says
I made these tonight with a few modifications. I used half the erythritol based sweetener and added some stevia glycerite. I used one cup of almond flour and one cup of coconut. I didn’t have any macadamia nuts so I just left them out. I baked them in a convection oven at 300 degrees. I didn’t have gelatin (and I’m vegetarian) so I used agar agar instead. I really enjoy these a lot! I used Bake Believe white chocolate chips. They did kind of disappear into the cookies as you said they would, so I added some on top right after taking them out of the oven. Thank you for all of your amazing recipes! They make my low carb life so much happier! These are a real treat to me!
Lucy says
I am printing out this recipe and saving it in my keto recipe files. This is excellent. I cut the recipe in half cuz keto baking is so hit or miss for me… I should have made the whole batch. I should have know , I haven’t gotten a bad recipe from your website. The coconut really adds to this ! Thank u !
