Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups sugar-free chocolate chips

How to Make Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Beat butter and erythritol until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined.
5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until a dough forms.
6. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
8. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look just set.
9. Cool on pan 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Sugar-Free Cookies

• Don’t overbake — cookies firm up as they cool, so pull them when centers still look slightly underdone.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
• Use room temperature butter for proper creaming and the best texture.
• Erythritol vs monk fruit — both work, but monk fruit has zero cooling aftertaste.

FAQs

Can I use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes! Use 2½ cups almond flour, reduce butter slightly, and expect a denser, more brownie-like texture.

How do I store sugar-free cookies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Do sugar-free cookies taste different?

With a good sweetener like monk fruit, the taste is virtually identical. Most people can’t tell the difference!
