Cookie recipe

+

+ Since wanting to reduce added sugar, Chris has been searching + for an alternative to cookies from the shops.
+ Here is the recipe for very quick, easy, and delicious + (sugar-free) cookies. +

+
+ + + + + +
+
(Makes about 18 cookies)
+
    +
  • 100g Unsalted butter
    • +
  • 240g Plain flour, we use spelt flour instead of wheat flour
    • +
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
    • +
  • A dash of salt
    • +
  • 100g Greek yoghurt, can be fat-free (at room temperature)
    • +
  • 120 Brown suger, or for sugar-free use erythritol gold
    • +
  • 100g White sugar, or for sugar-free use 10g hermesetas, or the equivalent of your preferred sweetener
    • +
  • 1 Large egg (at room temperature)
    • +
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
    • +
  • 55g Chocolate chips (To keep it sugar-free, I use Free'ist chocolate bars cut into pieces)
    • +
+
+
+

Method

+
    +
  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C
    2. +
  2. Melt the butter and leave to cool for 5 minutes
    3. +
  3. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl
    4. +
  4. In a smaller bowl mix the butter, yoghurt, sweeteners together with a whisk
    5. +
  5. Once combined, mix the egg into the batter
    6. +
  6. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold in, it will form a thick dough
    7. +
  7. Once all the flour is combined, mix in the chocolate chips
    8. +
  8. Scoop out the dough into little balls and place them on the baking tray, lightly pressing them down
    9. +
  9. Bake in the oven for about 7-10 minutes (they will be done when they start browning on the edges)
    10. +
  10. Take out and leave to cool
    11. +
  11. Enjoy!
