My version of chocolate chip cookies

This is just my variation on the toll house cookie recipe - I don't reccomend using splenda here - it totally changes the texture
Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup diabetisweet white
3/4 cup diabetisweet brown
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups sugarfree or unsweetened chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

 
Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

SLICE AND BAKE COOKIE VARIATION:
PREPARE dough as above. Divide in half; wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Shape each half into 15-inch log; wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.* Preheat oven to 375° F. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

 
 

Thanks for another great recipe, Liz!!

 yummmy.. they were so good!!! I would love some right about now!! Do you do mail orders!!!! lol
jk. i always goof up cookies somehow. I do one kind of cookies great and thats pecan tart cookies.

oh no! These are far too easy to goof! Let the kids do the work and you just supervise! lol

OK and making those tart shells for those cookies - HARD I don't do it!!

where do you find sugar free or unsweetened chocolate chips?

I have been looking everywhere.

Thanks Liz

not sure where exactly in PA you are but Super Walmart has the sugar free ones, they are made by HErshey's and are in a dark brown/black bag with a silver band across it. Some of the ladies have also found them in Giant. The unsweetened chips (they are like 80% cacao) I got at Wegmans but Shoprite and most grocery stores have them - Ghirardelli makes them and they are in the baking aisle usually near the unsweetened bakers chocolate. In a pinch you can also chop up the sugar free hershey's bars that you can get in the diabetic section or usually in a bag with the regular candy (they generally hang them)

Hopw this helps!

Hi Liz,

I haven't been around the boards too much, but I just saw that you are expecting?  Congratulations and best of luck.  That will be one very lucky kid.

Question about recipe, what is diabetisweet? where can it be bought? and where can you get unsweetened choco chips?  Cookies were never a big deal to me until my niece moved in and she eats them non stop.  Of course, she weighs 125 lbs.

Can you let me know as I would like to bake up a batch.

Thanks so much and congrates, again.

Jeanne

Thanks!!! 

Diabetisweet is an isomalt product, acts JUST like sugar (candy making, etc) you can get it at Target in teh Diabetic section (near the Pharmacy) or online from netrition.com or vitacost.com.

The sugar free chocolate chips (artificially sweetened) I get at Super Walmart and a few of the other ladies have gotten them at different Giant stores. The unsweetened chips (I think that they are 70 or 80% cacao) are made by Ghirardeli and are in the baking aisle at most supermarkets - they are in a stand up type bag. In a pinch you can also use the sugar free hershey's mini bars and chop them up - these you can find in teh candy aisle usually hanging up (beware this is a dangerous section - sugar free reeces peanut butter cups, andes mints, peppermint patties - oh my! lol)

Hope this helps!!!

Liz

Liz,

Sounds so good,  I may try to make these, but I am afraid that I may have a problem with portion control.  These are something that I used to love.  Thanks for sharing!
