Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup stevia in the raw (granulated)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, stevia in the raw, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for ten to twelve minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft—this will ensure chewy cookies after cooling!
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for about five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
