Low carb chocolate crinkle cookies are so good!
It's that time of year when everybody is showing off their baking skills! There's nothing quite like walking into a house and smelling the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods. It just doesn't get any better than that. It is definitely a “trend” that you should jump on- everyone loves a homemade baked good!
Desserts are a must-have during the holiday season, but sometimes it can be hard to choose which one to start with! If you love cookies but want to serve up something a little different this year, then chocolate crinkle cookies are the recipe for you! While you can never go wrong by adding cookies to the dessert table, this recipe is sure to be a crowd favorite and they are sure to look fantastic when added to that holiday cookie tray. However, chocolate and plenty of sweetness make this an excellent go-to dessert no matter what the occasion may be. Make this recipe at the holidays or in the middle of summer- any time is a good time for chocolate cookies.
Rather than sugar, this recipe calls for powdered erythritol. For those of you who've been keto for a while, you already know that this means it has plenty of sweetness! Erythritol is easier for the body to process and it will pass through you quickly, meaning that you will not absorb any of the carbs- it is a net-zero ingredient! That means it doesn't have those unnecessary calories or carbs that you are trying to avoid (especially at the holidays when carbs are everywhere!). This delicious option is just what you need to keep your health a priority during this hectic holiday season.
Other than substituting in a few keto-friendly ingredients, this is very similar to a traditional cookie recipe. Simply mix all the ingredients and then bake until cookies are just firm around the edges. To get that pretty crinkle cookie effect, the cookie dough balls are rolled in powdered erythritol. When the dough bakes, the cookies spread and that powdered erythritol coating “cracks” and creates a beautiful design. The white erythritol and chocolate cookie dough make quite the nice visual display! In as little as 30 minutes from start to finish, you can be enjoying these yummy little cookies! It's fast, simple, and absolutely worth it.
Whether you have a gathering scheduled or simply want to have a delicious, healthy snack around the house, low carb chocolate crinkle cookies are the way to go. It is a wonderful recipe to make around the holidays, ensuring that you can eat as many cookies as you want without worrying about carbs. Even those not on a keto diet are going to love these cookies. They are perfect for everyone! You and your guests are sure to fall in love with this ultimate comfort food cookie and you will definitely be making this easy recipe again and again. It's just too good for words!
