Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 oz sugar free baking chips
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granular sugar alternative measures like sugar, bakeable
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Place the sugar free baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup flour, 2 tbsp flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar alternative together with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture looks pale, creamy, and slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the egg mixture and mix on low speed or stir by hand until no streaks remain and the batter looks glossy.
  7. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl and mix on low just until the flour disappears and the batter is evenly combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tbsp) to portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the mounds about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  9. Bake one sheet at a time for 9–11 minutes, until the cookies have set edges and shiny, crackly tops but the centers are still soft.
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

- Make sure the melted chocolate cools to room temperature before adding it to the egg mixture to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- Use a baking-compatible, granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 like sugar for best texture.
- Spoon and level the flour to avoid packing it; too much flour can make the cookies cakey instead of fudgy.
- The batter should be thick and glossy, similar to brownie batter; if it seems very runny, let it sit for 2–3 minutes before scooping.
