- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Servings: 24 cookies
- Skill Level: Easy
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup erythritol or your preferred sugar substitute
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be sure not to overmix.
- Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Chewier Cookies: For an extra chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies, allowing them to finish setting as they cool.
- Nut-Free Option: Substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy milk if there are nut allergies in your household.
- Mix-Ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.
Store your sugar-free chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
These delightful cookies pair wonderfully with a cold glass of almond milk, a steaming cup of coffee, or a cozy mug of herbal tea. For a balanced snack, serve alongside fresh fruit or a handful of nuts.
