Lovely thick cookies that will all get eaten pretty quickly
even although the recipe makes a fair number. Absolutely love the cream cheese in these cookies. If you like a soft-textured chocolate chip cookie, this is your cookie. Have you seen the New Choc Zero chocolate chips? Awesome; no sugar alcohols. These cookies are soft, dense, chewy and
fabulously chocolatey. I can’t really tell you which are my favorite chocolate
chip cookies. I have so many and a few more coming to this blog in the next couple of months (I have tested and eaten them! - just haven't shared them yet), but this
was a good recipe and I really liked the addition of the cream cheese. I like
chocolate chip cookies and the number of recipes you can find for this type of
cookie is about as prevalent as recipes for low-carb pancakes! Seriously, I have to go easy on this sort of dessert though. It has to be more of an occasional thing for me as I like them a bit too much!
1/2
cup unsalted butter, softened (125 mL)
1/4 cup
cream cheese, softened (60 mL)
1
egg
2
tsp vanilla extract (10 mL)
1
tsp molasses (5 mL)
21/2 cups
Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, (625 mL)
OR 23/4 cups Keto Bake Mix (675 mL)
2
tsp cornstarch (10 mL)
3/4 tsp baking
soda (3 mL)
1/4 tsp
baking powder (1 mL)
1/8 tsp
salt (0.5 mL)
11/2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips* (375 mL)
Preheat
the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In bowl with mixer, place butter, cream cheese, liquid
sweetener, erythritol, egg, vanilla extract and molasses. Mix really well.
In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and
salt. Add to wet ingredients;
process. Stir in chocolate chips and
pecans, OR walnuts, if using.
Form tablespoonfuls of cookie dough and place on
greased cookie sheet. Shape them with a
small spoon keeping the cookies high and round. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, or just
until they are starting to brown with a kiss of color. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet and then refrigerate.
Helpful Hint: *If desired, remove 1/2 cup
(125 mL) sugar-free chocolate chips and replace with chopped pecans or walnuts or even lightly salted and chopped peanuts.
