Chocolate Chip Hawaiian Cookies

A grain-free, gluten-free, chocolate chip coconut macadamia nut cookie, with paleo and low carb options.

Chocolate Chip Hawaiian Cookies are grain-free, low carb, and ridiculously good! These tropical-inspired treats have chocolate chips, coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts. The recipe includes a keto low carb and a paleo version.

These are also good without the macadamia nuts, according to my youngest son, who picked all the macadamia nuts out of his cookie.

I had to remake this recipe 3 times before I could get the perfect cookie texture.

Well, it should have been 2 times, because I did not hear the oven timer go off on one of the batches, and incinerated the cookies.

Oh, that almost made me cry! Don’t you hate it when you wander away from the oven and burn something so bad that it is inedible?

Please let me know I’m not alone and share your best “I ruined the food” stories in the comment section.
