Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ 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 Granular White Sugar Alternative (e.g. Splenda, measures 1:1 with sugar)
- ½ cup Granular Brown Sugar Alternative (e.g. Surkin Gold, measures 1:1 with sugar)
- 2 Eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Other
- 1 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet with a nonstick surface or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar alternative, and brown sugar alternative until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients (flour and baking soda) into the butter and sugar mixture until just blended—do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract gently, mixing until combined but avoiding overmixing to maintain texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the sugar free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies begin to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on a baking rack to set before serving.
