Sugar-Free Chocolate Pecan Cookies Cooking Guide
- Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies bake evenly and are perfectly cooked.
- Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easy clean-up.
- Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Step 4: Cream Butter and Sweetener. In another bowl, use a hand mixer or spatula to cream the softened or melted butter with the monkfruit sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Step 5: Add Vanilla. Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the butter-sweetener mixture.
- Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Step 7: Fold in Oats and Pecans. Gently fold in the rolled oats and finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Step 8: Scoop and Bake. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look set.
- Step 9: Cool and Enjoy. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Sugar-Free Chocolate Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Notes
- Chill cookies for 30 minutes before serving for enhanced chewiness.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Freeze cookie dough for later baking, letting it sit at room temperature before use.
