Once baked, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead/Freezer Instructions
As with many other cookie recipes, I usually make a batch of dough, then bake half and freeze the other half.
When you want a cookie, just bake the frozen dough by adding 2-4 minutes onto the cook time. These are perfect to have on hand for those nights when you just need a little something sweet!

These were beyond amazing. So much healthier than regular chocolate chip cookies and just as delicious!! They’ll be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!
Substituted stevia for sugar, smart balance spread for butter, Himalayan sea salt, and 53% cacao dark chocolate. Added tea spoon of raw honey and table spoon of bee pollen. Taste and texture were great!

Any chance you know the breakdown of how many carbs each cookie has? I have no clue how to figure that out… lol. Thanks for any response!
These are SO good! You saved me! Great when I have a sweet tooth! Thank you!
What about the brown sugar, thought you couldn’t have sugar on Keto. I am just starting Keto that is why I am asking.
I don’t know much about the keto diet! Sorry about that!
You can’t you would want to use a sugar sub like monkfruit, Swerve etc… I did them with monkfruit and MCT oil and they came out amazing!
