Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 146kcal
Equipment
- 2 large baking sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter Softened
- ½ cup Brown sugar substitute
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar substitute
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoon Milk
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups Unflavoured whey isolate
- ⅓ cup Coconut flour
- ¾ teaspoon Baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In stand mixer - or in a large bowl with a hand mixer - cream butter and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
- Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients - except chocolate chips.
- Slowly add this dry mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until well combined. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190 C), line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll ~ 1 ½" balls out of the cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get 16 cookies from the batch.
- Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the tops of each slightly - flatten JUST enough to prevent the dough from rolling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
