Tips for Success:
- Soft vs. Crispy:
- For softer cookies, bake for 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, extend baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- Sweetener Swap:
- Use allulose or a blend for a chewier texture, as erythritol can create a crunchier finish.
- Chocolate Choices:
- Use sugar-free chocolate chunks or dark chocolate for extra richness.
- Dough Chilling:
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies that don’t spread much.
Recipe Variations:
- Nut-Free: Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour.
- Peanut Butter Lovers: Add 2 tbsp natural peanut butter to the dough.
