Chocolate Mixture
- 8 oz Sugar Free Baking Chips (no added sugar chocolate chips, suitable for baking)
- ⅓ cup Butter (unsalted; if using unsalted, add ½ tsp salt to flour)
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup Flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 tbsp Flour (additional)
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup Sugar Alternative (granular, measures like sugar, suitable for baking)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar free baking chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring carefully between each, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler method.
- Mix Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ¾ cup flour, additional 2 tbsp flour, baking powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined.
- Beat Eggs and Sugar Alternative. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar alternative together until creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures. Add the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture to the large mixing bowl with the eggs and sugar alternative, mix to combine. Then fold in the dry ingredients from the medium bowl until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
- Scoop Dough. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies at least 1½ inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and you see cracks forming on top while centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to set the centers, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use sugar-free baking chips that melt well to maintain texture and flavor.
- If using unsalted butter, adding ½ tsp salt to the flour enhances flavor balance.
- Do not overbake; cookies should have soft centers for the ideal chewy texture.
- Granular sugar alternatives that measure like sugar ensure proper texture and sweetness.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breakage.
