Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy a classic treat with a healthier twist—these chocolate chip cookies use sugar-free chocolate chips to satisfy your sweet tooth without the extra sugar. They’re soft, flavorful, and perfect for sharing or keeping all to yourself.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
• 1/3 cup sucralose-granulated sugar blend
• 1/3 cup sucralose-brown sugar blend
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/3 cups HERSHEY’S Sugar Free Chocolate Chips (8 oz pkg.)
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar blend, brown sugar blend, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs and beat well.
3. Step 3: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
4. Step 4: Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Step 5: Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added texture.
• Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and produce thicker cookies.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them fresh longer, you can freeze the baked cookies for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat slightly in the microwave for a warm, gooey treat.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of sugar-free?

Yes, you can substitute regular chocolate chips if you don’t need a sugar-free option. The texture and bake time will remain the same.

Are these cookies gluten-free?

This recipe uses all-purpose flour, so it is not gluten-free. To make gluten-free cookies, try substituting with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking.
