This month, the Crazy Cooking Challenge is to make chocolate chip cookies. Being sucrose intolerant, this is one recipe I have not tried before, as it necessitates chopping up whole sugar free chocolate, and I have never really been bothered to go to all that work for a simple cookie. However, being challenged I set about searching the South African web pages for inspiration.
As you can see from my widgets, I am a yuppiechef and so I went to their online magazine and found an article on the science behind chocolate chip cookies and so used their recipe to create my sugar free version. I have a digital scale and it shows ounces and grams and so the grams in the recipe are the exact measurements. However, you can round them up / down to the nearest whole reading and it will work out the same.
These were made when I was still actively supporting Yuppiechef. Since then, the widget has been removed from my blog.

Well done for finding a way around the sugar issues – they look great!
thanks – they did not crisp up but tasted yummy when warm 🙂
I must confess I have never ‘gotten’ the hype around these cookies. Well done, though, they came out very nicely.
thanks Cin, I loved the gooey chocolate when they were warm 🙂

I often think of you when I am adding sugar to a recipe – must be tough sometimes Tandy – not nice. Your cookies look lovely.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

thanks Mandy – it is only tough when it comes to the lovely truffle chocolates my dad gives to Dave 🙂

Another thing for me to add to my mom’s shopping list for December 🙂
What the heck is this “Net Assistant” thing that keeps popping up, and taking over you page when I scroll? That Troll didn’t leave you a land mine did he?
Probably something WordPress has recently added without telling us…like they did when my editing page went hay-wire the other night, while I was editing, and they were changing the “Admin-Bar” Oh well,…Hey, It’s Free, who am I going to complain to?.. If it is a bug, and you need help, I may be able to assist….Bless You

I certainly hope the troll was not able to hack my account! I will see if it shows from my hubby’s computer tomorrow 🙂
