Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups Flour (see post for low carb or gluten-free alternatives)
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 17 tbsp Butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup Splenda (granular sugar alternative, measures 1:1 with sugar)
- 1/2 cup Surkin Gold (brown sugar alternative)
- 2 Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips (see post for details)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a cookie sheet with a nonstick surface or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugar alternatives, Splenda and Surkin Gold, using a fork or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry flour and baking soda mixture into the butter and sugar mixture until just blended. Then, gently stir in the eggs and vanilla extract, taking care not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies start to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving to ensure they set properly.
Notes
- For a lower carb or gluten-free version, substitute the flour with approved alternatives as noted in the post.
- 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.
