Chocolate chip cookies with stevia
I have to tell you this...because Chocolate Chip Cookies are DH's favorite food, I went on a quest to find a really good sugar-free, lower carb CRISPY cookie recipe several years ago with no luck. =(
After much experimentation, this is what I came up with, and believe me when I say that if you follow this recipe without substitutions, they have the texture of a Keebler brand Pecan Sandie cookie!!! I have been hoarding a small supply of miniature chocolate chips that were sweetened with Erythritol, purchased while in California a couple of years ago at WinCo Foods in Folsom. They no longer carry them! For some reason, I felt the need to buy about five pounds of them that day, when I next visited that store they were gone forever. So, you'll have to decide for yourself what kind of chocolate you use in this recipe as I can't advise you on that. I buy things like the Resistant Wheat Starch at http://www.netrition.com. I have no affiliation to them whatsoever, it's just where I like to buy low carb ingredients because they've always got what I need and are great to deal with, not to mention a flat-rate shipping fee, no matter how much you buy at one time, or at least they did the last time I was on their website. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH STEVIA ©Helen Sherburne 2009 54 calories each (without nuts), 4 carbs each, 4.5 g cholesterol each, 1 g protein each, 1.5 g sodium each! 1 cup all-purpose flour (cringe!) 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 whole egg 1 egg white 1/2 tsp Stevia Powder 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1 to 1 1/4 cups sugar-free chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 1 tsp Resistant Wheat Starch 75 (optional, BUT...resistant wheat starch provides crispness to sugar-free cookies!) Preheat oven to 350º In medium mixing bowl (I like to use a paper plate instead of a bowl so I can pour the dry ingredients into my mixing bowl), mix all dry ingredients together and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, egg and egg white and vanilla extract until creamy, then slowly stir in the dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoons onto baking sheet about 2 inches apart, then flatten to about 1/2" thickness with wet fingers. (they will NOT flatten by themselves!) Bake about 15 to 20 minutes or until cookies are golden. Remove to cooling rack. HIDE THEM QUICKLY!!! :D |
Thanks so much, I can't wait to try them!

Helen, I see that you have 5 recipes here. Can I just come over your house and eat so I don't have to copy the receipes and make my self? LOL, Thank you for all of them. Just keep them coming. I need to come to your house and learn to cook. If I hide all the goodies, I'll have to eat them all. (smile)
