Cookie Baking Sheets Parchment Paper

This is for the..lazier.. person (raises hand). What could be easier than parchment paper that is precut??

Stainless Steel Cookie Scoop

Make perfectly similar sized cookies when you use a scoop. This works ever so wonderfully with chocolate chip cookies, as I would know.
I also use this for more than cookie baking!

What you will need to make this

• Flour- 1 ⅔ cup (AP).
  Make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free flour instead of regular flour. Or, you can make this recipe low carb by using low carb Carbalose flour.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder- ½ cup.-
• Baking Powder- 1 ½ teaspoon.
• Butter- 9 tablespoons (1 stick+ 1 tablespoon ).
• Sugar Alternative- 1 cup. Granular 1:1 equivalency with sugar works best.
• Eggs- 2.
• Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
• Sugar Free Powdered Sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online- ½ cup.

How to make Sugar Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

• Mix together your flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set this aside.
• In a mixing bowl, blend together the butter and sugar alternative. When well blended, you can add the vanilla extract and then the eggs one at a time, stirring between additions.
• Next stir in the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the mixing bowl. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed to blend the ingredients together.
• Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• When ready to bake the cookies, remove the mixing bowl from the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 325 and prep your cookie sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper
• Place your powdered sugar in a shallow bowl or similar surface.
• Use a tablespoon or similar sized scoop to scoop up cookie dough. Roll the dough into 1" balls and then roll each ball in the powdered sugar. Place each of the rolled cookie dough balls on the prepped sheet at least 2" apart.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies appear to be crackled and the outer areas of the cookies seem to be set.
• Allow your cookies to cool on a rack.

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.
