NOTE:
It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups, so whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup and add more to fill the cup, as necessary.
COOKIE TIPS:
1. We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET! for our cookie recipes. It makes the best cookies!
2. If cookies are baked right after mixing they will spread more. If cookies rest they will spread and flatten less. If the cookies are refrigerated and baked cold they will be taller and not spread as much. Most bakers have a preference for each type of cookie/recipe.
3. We suggest baking off one cookie before baking the entire batch. This way, if you use substitutions (ie different sweeteners) or you don't weigh your ingredients, you can adjust the dough with a tablespoon more mix if the cookie is too flat, or add a little more soft butter or 1-2 tsp of liquid if the cookie doesn't spread enough.
INGREDIENTS
1 C MULTI-USE BAKERY MIX (125g)
1 C S'WEEET! Sweetener Blend (140g) *see below for substitutions
1/2 C Cocoa Powder (50g
10 T (1 Stick plus 2 T) melted and cooled Butter (112g)
1 Egg (50g)
1 t Vanilla Extract
1 t Almond Extract (optional)
Top with Sea Salt (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium size bowl, combine the sweetener and cocoa with our Bakery Mix.
3. In another bowl combine the butter, egg and extracts and mix until well combined.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and stir in any additions such as nuts, etc.
5. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator until cold and firm.
6, Portion onto a greased or lined sheet pan and roll into balls. Gently press the tops down, if desired.
9. Bake about 8-12 minutes (depending on oven and size of cookie). For a gooier cookie, don't
over bake!
10. Tap the pan on the counter after removing from the oven.
For VEGAN COOKIES: Use S'weeet or sugar as your sweetener (we cannot guarantee results with other sweeteners) and replace the egg with 3 T nut milk. Use a butter substitute. If using coconut oil, reduce the amount to 7 tablespoons.
*SWEETENERS VARY tremendously and will affect the final outcome of ALL baked goods.
Allulose and kabocha-based sweeteners (such as Bocha Sweet) will make baked goods very soft and not crispy. Erythritol can make them firm and more crumbly. *See below to substitute.
We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'weeet!, real sugar or a substitute such as Swerve (IMO + Erythritol) Lakanto's Baking Blend, or Mrs. Jones blend (which contains sugar). If you prefer to bake with a liquid sweetener, you will likely need to an add additional 1-4 T Bakery Mix.
*SWEETENER SUBSTITUTIONS: To substitute S'weeet! for Allulose, Erythritol or Bocha Sweet increase the Multi-Use Bakery Mix to 1 1/2 C (187g) and press the cookie dough balls down with your palm before baking. Cool completely before moving. To substitute S'weeet! for real Sugar use 3/4 C (the weight is about the same as 1 C of S'weeet! 140g) and increase the Bakery Mix by 1 T.
