Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups Flour (see post for alternatives for low carb or gluten free)
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 17 tbsp Butter (softened to room temperature)
• 1 cup Splenda (use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar and can be baked with)
• 1/2 cup Surkin Gold
• 2 Eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips (see post for details)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet with a nonstick spray or parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda, then set aside.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugar alternatives until smooth and combined.
4. Step 4: Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just blended. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing gently to combine without over mixing.
5. Step 5: Fold in the sugar free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
6. Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them apart.
7. Step 7: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
8. Step 8: Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a low carb or gluten free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten free blend as recommended in the post.
• Try swapping Surkin Gold with a brown sugar alternative to add a richer flavor without sugar.
• Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and yield thicker cookies.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm individual cookies in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or bake briefly in a preheated oven to restore softness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of the sugar substitutes?

Yes, you can replace the sugar alternatives with regular sugar, but keep in mind this will increase the sugar content and calorie count of the cookies.

Do these cookies spread a lot while baking?

They spread moderately. To reduce spreading, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking or use slightly less butter.

Notes

• Use a granular sugar substitute that measures 1:1 with sugar and is suitable for baking to achieve the best texture and sweetness.
• Room temperature eggs and softened butter help create a smooth dough and tender cookies.
• Do not overmix after adding the eggs and dry ingredients to avoid tough cookies.
• Baking time may vary slightly depending on oven, so monitor cookies closely after 10 minutes.
