Eliminating sugar has been one of the hardest things about my diet. I also didn't realize how hard it would be to find a sugar free and gluten free recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies so I kind of made up my own. And guess what, they came out pretty good! :)
*They aren't completely sugar free, as they use Truvia Baking Blend, but they are a low sugar option.
Low Sugar Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1/3 cup Coconut Oil
1/3 cup Truvia® Baking Blend
2/3 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1 1/4 cup Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 Egg White
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp. Almond Milk ( You may need another Tbsp. if the dough seems too dry)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray baking sheet with baking spray.
2. In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the coconut oil and Truvia® Baking Blend and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is slightly light a fluffy. Do not over mix.
4. Add the egg, milk and vanilla. Continue to mix for 1 minute, or until all the ingredients are blended together.
5. Mix in the flour, salt and baking soda mixture until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
6. Portion the cookies into 1 tbsp each. Place them several inches apart on the baking sheet. Press the cookies flat using the palm of your hand. They should be ¼” to ½” in thickness.
7. Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for 7-8 minutes, until brown at the edges. Rotate the cookies half way through baking.
8. Transfer the cookies to the top rack of the oven and bake for 1 addition minute, or until the top of the cookie slightly browned.
