Who knew you could make such a delicious monk fruit cookie?!?

Before I share this delicious monk fruit cookie recipe with you, I want to talk a little about my flour and sweetener choices.

Honeyville Almond Flour:

I have tried many almond flours and Honeyville’s Blanched Almond Flour takes the gluten-free cake. The flour has such a nice texture and bakes up really nice each and every time. Some almond flours taste gritty and leave a bad aftertaste, but Honeyville offers up a smooth, soft texture with no bad aftertaste. I use it almost exclusively when my recipe calls for almond flour. (Don’t use Bob’s Red Mill’s almond flour – it’s just not the same). (Read more about almond flour baking.)

The great thing about almond flour is that it is low in sugar and carbohydrates but high in fat and protein. It has a low glycemic index ranking so it’s great for diabetics or others who need or want to watch their sugar intake.

ZenSweet’s Monk Fruit Sweetener:

ZenSweet sent me a bag of its Monk Fruit Sweetener to try. I didn’t know what to make, so I decided to make this tried and true recipe but instead of using sugar, I used the Monk Fruit Sweetener, which measures cup-for-cup to sugar. I found the cookies to be sweet and taste exactly as I had put sugar in there. There was no weird aftertaste (like with Splenda or other imitation sugars) and there wasn’t a gritty sugar taste either. All I tasted was my moist, sweet, soft chocolate chip cookie.

ZenSweet’s Monk Fruit Sweetener contains three natural ingredients: erythritol, soluble prebiotic fiber and monk fruit. According to the ZenSweet website, “Erythritol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in some foods, including pears, grapes, and watermelon. Inulin is a soluble, prebiotic fiber. Monk fruit is a small round green gourd grown in China and northern Thailand, and is 300 times sweeter than sugar.”

ZenSweet is a zero calorie sweetener and has zero glycemic impact. It’s also non-GMO. You can purchase ZenSweet on Amazon too or if Amazon is sold out, you can try this other monk fruit sweetener as well.

Together, this winning combination offers up a low glycemic, low sugar, low carb and totally gluten-free sweet treat!

 

So the next time that cookie craving takes over, whip up a batch of these soft-baked, sugar-free and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Your friends won’t believe you made a sugar-free monk fruit cookie – seriously, they won’t believe you could be so clever!
