WHAT SWEETENER ARE YOU USING?

This recipe features allulose as the main ingredient, which I have found to be the most effective zero calorie sweetener without any unpleasant aftertaste or digestive issues. However, if you are comfortable with the cooling aftertaste and have no stomach problems, you can also use monkfruit or stevia.

Alternatively, if you prefer to use granulated sugar instead of zero calorie sweeteners, simply substitute 25g of added sugar for the 30g of allulose to achieve the perfect St Patrick’s Day Cookie.

ALLULOSE VS MONKFRUIT VS SUGAR

Monkfruit sweeteners are typically a mixture of 1% monkfruit sweetener and 99% erythritol. However, erythritol can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and a slight cooling sensation when used in baking. To mitigate the cooling effect, some suggest pulverizing it into a powdered sugar to prevent re-crystallization.

While sugar produces the best flavor in baked goods, it also adds unwanted calories when making healthy, low-calorie cookie recipes.

Allulose has been my top choice for low-calorie sweeteners in baking. It achieves a perfect balance in most baked recipes and creates a golden brown color in low-calorie chocolate chip cookies. Moreover, it does not leave a cooling aftertaste or cause stomach issues like monkfruit sweetener. Although allulose is less widely available and relatively expensive, I found it recently at Costco. It’s important to note that the granular size is too large for direct use, so it requires blending or using a ready-made brand like Anthony’s Allulose Sweetener, which is cheaper and requires no prior blending.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE LOW CALORIE ST. PATRICK’S DAY COOKIES

All Purpose Flour

Zero Calorie Sweetener (I use allulose)

Light Margarine

Bobs Red Mill Egg Replacer ( If you can’t get your hands on this you can use unsweetened applesauce or 4x this recipe and use a real egg. (or use 1/4th of an egg))

Vanilla Extract

Green Food Coloring

Baking Powder

White Chocolate Chips

HOW TO MAKE THESE LOW CALORIE ST. PATRICK’S DAY COOKIES

Start by preheating your oven to 350F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside for later use.

In a medium bowl, combine the light margarine and sweetener until fully mixed.

In a separate small bowl, prepare the egg replacer by mixing it with water. Pour this mixture into the sweetener and margarine mixture.

Add all remaining wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.

Using a 1 tbsp measuring spoon, scoop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not over scoop the measuring spoon, this is exactly enough batter to make 6 level cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes.Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Now, it’s time to enjoy your delicious new favorite cookie recipe!
