More helpful tips for you.
- Using fresh ingredients is essential to making a good cookies. This is especially true for your dry ingredients.
- Measure your flour by scooping and leveling it out. This will help keep the balance between wet and dry ingredients intact.
- When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until the ingredients are just combined. This will help keep the gluten from overworking and resulting in a tough cookie.
- Refrigerating the dough is an important step in making these cookies. This helps keep the structure of your butter and keep the texture thick and fluffy.

- Do you have to use sugar free chocolate chips to make this recipe? That is entirely up to you and how much sugar you want in your cookies.
- Can I use a blend of sugar and sugar alternative? This recipe has been adjusted for using granular sugar alternative that measures like regular sugar. Having said that, if you decide to use a blended ingredient, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the cookies while they bake as baking times can vary. Also, the blended alternative should measure 1:1 with sugar.
