Cooking Techniques
Creating the perfect cookie dough requires a balance of wet and dry ingredients. Be sure to cream the butter and erythritol thoroughly to create a light texture. When folding in the chocolate chips, do so gently to maintain the dough’s fluffiness.
FAQ
- Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol? Yes, but the cookies will no longer be sugar-free.
- What can I use instead of chocolate chips? Chopped nuts or dried fruit can make a delicious alternative.
- How do I know when the cookies are done? The edges should be lightly browned, and the centers will appear slightly soft.
