This cookie is especially for anyone asking what cookie has the least amount of sugar.

While I do suggest using the sugar alternative of your choice, I do suggest that you use a granular sugar alternative that also measures 1:1 with sugar for best results.
I must say that I am quite excited that it is possible to find sugar free white chocolate chips.

Let's face it. Some cookies are better soft and chewy while others are better when they are hard and more dry.
As I mentioned in my Soft and Chewy Sugar Free Chocolate Chip cookie recipe, there is a way to make these yummy cookies without adding brown sugar or molasses to them.
It is the brown sugar and the molasses that makes cookies really soft and chewy. As you know, these ingredients are not sugar free.
