I love that I was able to make some sugar-free, low carb Chocolate Chip Cookies for my Husband.
Rick had surgery on Friday so things have been a bit crazy around here and I have a back log of blog posts to write, but these came out so great I just couldn’t wait to share the recipe.
These little gems passed with flying colors! With comments like:
“If you put these Chocolate Chip Cookies out at a party nobody would know they are “diet” cookies”
“These cookies are the closest you’ve come to a “real” cookie!
That’s huge praise from my cookie monster hubby… even my son who doesn’t eat THM normally liked these Chocolate Chip Cookies.
One thing about following the Trim Healthy Mama plan is that you have to use sugar alternatives not only in the cookies but also in the chocolate chips.
You can use Lily’s brand chocolate chips or you can make your own Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Baking Chips like I do. I will have to try these with my sugar-free Peanut Butter baking chips and of course these Cinnamon Baking Chips…
Making different flavors of baking chips has been a fun adventure for me.
With the number of cookies that I make for my husband and myself to snack on they add a nice flavor change
. I have plans to make some peppermint and ginger spice chips also so stay tuned and visit the blog often to see all the adventures!
I normally eat about 3 of these cookies for a snack along with a baby frap or some beauty milk from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook
Having ready to go snacks and treats helps me stay on plan in those busy moments or situations like last week when I was sitting in a hospital with limited access to on plan foods. Although I will say that the VA hospital did have boiled eggs, cheese cups and salads which allowed me to stay on plan in the waiting room and while I was sitting with Rick.
I did pack some other on plan snacks like an apple with peanut butter jigglegurt dip as well as some deli roll ups and string cheese.
I’ll stop rambling and give you the Sugar Free Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe…

Thank you so much for this recipe. I will be praying for a speedy recovery for your husband. Quick question, you mentioned a peanut butter jigglegurt, can you advise how you made that? I have the book and made or I should say tried to make a lemon version and it was terrible. Peanut butter sounds like it might be better. Thank you again and God bless!
Judy says
I added2 tsp of peanut flour to 6 oz of jigglegurt and 1 tsp of Super Sweet Blend …but you could add natural peanut butter to it… but only 1 tsp for an E … You may have better luck if you grind the sweetener so that it isn’t crunchy
Judy says
and thank you so much for the prayers He will appreciate them immensely!

I just love your recipes!, hoping you will have in the future a sugar free English toffee chips recipe.
Judy says
Ohh that’s a great idea Kelly … I’ll try to work on that !!
Jen says
What are the nutritional facts on these?
Judy says
I don’t normally list nutritional facts because I follow the THM way of combining my foods… But for 3 cookies as a serving the nutritional facts are: Per Serving : 172 Calories; 14g Fat (72.5% calories from fat); 8g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; 2g Dietary Fiber; 69mg Cholesterol; 109mg Sodium.

Hi! These sound amazing. I was wondering if you had an idea of what could be substituted for the rivotta or cream cheese, for those of us who are dairy free as well as sugar free. I can use clarified butter as an alt. to regular butter, but I didn’t know if you knew a trick to switch out the other dairy? Thanks so much!
Judy says
I’m so sorry, I don’t know of anything that would work as a substitute in this
Marion says
Hi
I’m new to your site. At least some of your recipes say “serves x”, this one saying “serves 3”. In this one you say you keep portion sizes to 3, so does that mean the recipe makes 9 (3 times 3)? The picture shows 12 on the tray. I just want to know how big to make the cookies. Thanks for this!
Judy says
Hi Marion — Serving sizes are approximate — if I get 12 cookies then 1 serving can be up to 4 cookies — if I make it into 9 cookies then i becomes 3
tammy says
thanks for the great recipes and ideas! I enjoy the homemade chocolate chips so much and very economical. Do the cinnamon chips taste at all coconutty? I’m not a fan of the tropical coconut flavor at all…any ideas??
Judy says
They do have a hint of the coconut flavor, you could use cocoa butter in place of the coconut butter to not have that 🙂
Gina says
I’m looking at the nutrition label.. when it says serving is 12, does that mean 12 cookies? I have a newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetic son (10y) and have to know carb # to determine his insulin dosage. Trying to figure out how many cookies equals the 39g carbs. Thanks!
Judy says
a serving size is normally 2 cookies
