BONAPPETITLIFE’S 12 DAYS OF FODMAP

1 Giant Santa Cookie

The family Christmas tradition is for my dad, brother, sister and me to bake homemade chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies for Santa. With the leftover batter we always make one giant, pie-sized cookie called the Giant Santa Cookie.  This recipe is a classic.

This year, after my sister and I both realized our gluten intolerances, we switched to gluten-free flour for baking. The gluten-free cookies are a little bit harder than those made with regular flour, but the taste is not sacrificed.

All You Need:

• 2 1/4 c gluten free flour (1 to 1 baking flour)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 c coconut oil or 2 sticks of butter
• 3/4 c granulated sugar
• 3/4 c packed brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 c chocolate chips of choice (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
• 1 c chopped macadamia nuts
