How to Make Diabetic-Friendly Soft-Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sweeteners

In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar substitutes until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 6: Scoop the Dough

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 9–11 minutes, just until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will firm up slightly while staying soft inside.
