While sugar and its alternatives might taste similar, their chemical compositions are quite different. This means you may need to tweak your recipe based on the ingredients you use.
Some tips to help you out:
- This recipe uses sugar substitutes. Ensure the substitutes you pick are suitable for baking and measure 1:1 with regular sugar.
- To make gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, substitute regular flour with gluten-free flour. Check the packaging to confirm it measures 1:1 with all-purpose flour and determine if a binder is required.
- For a low-carb version, use Carbalose flour (not the baking mix!). To make it keto-friendly, choose a keto-friendly flour. Always read the labels to ensure your chosen flour measures 1:1 with all-purpose flour and see if a binder is needed.
