Thank you for posting your findings. I will be awaiting your combined recipe. As for tasting better the next day - I may NEVER find out for myself....

BTW, I can see that these could very well cause some major portion control problems.

Oh boy. I'm going to have to try these!

[mac24312]

I have made these 3 times in the past 10 days!! LOL They are wonderful and are VERY hard on portion control. LOL

Thanks for the great recipes Kevin!!

Hi, everyone! What chocolate chips are you using for these cookies? I can't find any anywhere. Should I chop up chocolate bars? I'd rather have chips. Thank you!

[Kevinpa]

I used Eat Well Be Well chips but I only have about 20 bags left in my freezer now.

[didi]

Do you have any ideas for what you'll do when you run out? I can get Lindt bars (sugar) or Russel Stover dark or milk chocolate bars (maltitol) and try to chop them. But I really love semi-sweet.

[Kevinpa]

I will make my own if I can't find a suitable replacement.

Stella Style Chocolate Chips?

[Sassay]

Kevin, they look great!! Can we use our cookie flour for this and if so how would it work? Thanks

Sassay, if you are talking about my flour mixes, that is what I used this time. I used the carbalose version but the carbquik version would work well also and be a few total carbs less.

[Determinedtolose]

Hi Kevin, I just got my ingredients to make your cake/cookie flour.
I was looking for your carbulose recipe and can't seem to find that. I do have the Carbquik recipe.

Can you post the link for that recipe? Thanks!
I'll be baking these cookies and some others that you have on your recipe.
I also did not buy isomalt, so I'll be upping the brown sugar Diabetisweet. Although at Walmart, I did see the regular sugar of Diabetisweet. Should I pick that up, if it's still available?

Thank you,
diana

[mac24312]

Hi..all you have to do is sub carbalose flour for the carbquick one. That is the only change in the recipes that I can see. I use all brown sugar Diabetisweet instead of the Isolate. I think the cookies are better that way. I use both the Brown and regular in my baking needs. Good luck and let me know how they turn out. I have made them 3 times and love them!
Later and HUGS
Christina

[Determinedtolose]

Thanks Christina!
Oh I did see in Kevins revised cookie recipe where it states the diabti sweet bs measurements.

I'll be making these this weekend. They looks so good!

Which flour do you prefer using?

Thanks again!!!
Hugs to you too!

[Kevinpa]

Diana, Christina is correct. The only difference in the two mixes is one has carbquik and the other has carbalose in it. It is the same measurement whichever you use. Also diabetisweet is sweeter than isomalt so the revised recipe is a slightly sweeter cookie than the original but like Christina I like it better that way over the original. HTH

[shadowzip]

Hi Kevin I made the revised version today to have something for the holidays that I can eat while everyone is munching the high carb goodies I have made. They were spot on! I chopped up a couple of choco-perfection bars for the chips. Great Recipe

[Tweaker Geek]

I loved the original recipe so I will definitely be trying these. I didn't think you could improve on the others Kevin, you never cease to amaze!

[Ressy]

Thanks Kevin for the link! I'm gonna make these this week!

Hi Kevin,
I can't find low carb chocolate chips, but I do have organic cacao nibs, cocoa powder as well as bittersweet chocolate bars. Can I make my own chips out of any of these? I have evrything else for this recipe. Thanks

Kevin, have you tried this recipe using your pseudo brown sugar? Would you make any other changes in the recipe or simply sub 1:1 pseudo brown sugar for the DiabetiSweet Brown?

No, I have not tried it yet. When i make these cookies, I make a big batch and freeze them and I still have a bunch left.

My plan was to make them next time using what you suggested but I'm good for a month yet.

[Panda120]

Thanks, Kevin.

I may give it a try and see how they come out. I am really loving your pseudo brown sugar. What I have is made with blackstrap molasses because I haven't yet gotten yacon syrup. I can't imagine it being any better but look forward to being surprised when I eventually do get to try it with yacon syrup.

I made these today as a treat for my birthday and I have to tell you that they are simply fabulous!!! These are the best low carb cookies that I have ever tasted! Thank you for making my birthday so enjoyable!

Does anyone know where we can get LC choco chips now?

[jlatislaw]

I got mine in the grocery store - Hershey's SF chips. They're made with malitol which bothers some people. They taste very much like regular chips.
If your store doesn't carry them maybe you could ask them to order some.

[DBrown8614]

I just chopped up some sf chocolate wafers, that you use for chocolate molds, for mine.

[Tweaker Geek]

Retro - Those are the chunky Carb Smart ones aren't they? I got some of them from Netrition but they are really chunky and hard to break up into chip size pieces. I'm going to see if I can find some of the Hershey's s.f. chips locally, if not I may order some just to have on hand. I have made some myself, but if you want to bake something "Now" it's not happening if you have to stop and make the chips also!

Before anyone says it - I know I could make up a bag full and have them on hand but sometimes I just don't!

The CarbSmart people put a sign on the sight sayingthe chunks were an accident and that they should have normal shaped chips in the future.

I didn't know Hershey's made Sugar free chocolate chips. I've never seen them in any store. I even looked for plain dark chocolate chips with no luck.

Edit: I just found someone selling some online but it has no nutrition info. Can you tell me what the sweetener is?
