    Sugar Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

     
    Crinkle cookies that do not have all of the added sugar in them.
    I like that we can enjoy these cookies.
     

    I always love seeing the wonderful variety of cookies that pop up during the holiday season.
    While we love the usual cookies such as chocolate chip or sugar, sometimes we want something a bit different.
    That is one reason why crinkle cookies are so popular this time of the year.

     

    There are a couple of ingredients that you will need for this that you may not have on hand.

    You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
    Unsweetened cocoa powder can easily be found online. Also, you will need sugar free chocolate chips, which you can find here.

    Sugar Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
    I get a lot of visitors who ask me about baking without sugar.

    Baking cakes, cupcakes, and cookies has gotten a lot easier over the years. This is mostly thanks to the many new products and options that are now on the market.

    For me, the alternative that I choose to use in a recipe has a lot to do with what that recipe actually is.
    Every alternative behaves differently when added to a recipe. This has a lot to do with how we use that alternative in our recipe.

      Does it matter what type of cocoa? I have heard that if you are using 1/2 cup or more then use Dutch processed cocoa. And thank you for all the sugar free options.

        Hi.
        The dutch chocolate will certainly offer the darker color that can look nice with a cookie like this one. However, the cookie will not have as much of a chocolate taste as it would by using regular cocoa. In baking, it is the regular cocoa that is usually preferred as it is also needed to react with baking soda as part of the leavening process.
        Hope this helps. Thanks!
