Who doesn’t love a good chocolate chip cookie? They are like a hug from the inside and right now I think that a hug would probably do us all some good.
These cookies are really easy to make and you can bake them all at once, or freeze the dough and then bake them a few at a time whenever you feel like a cookie!

Tips for making the perfect low carb cookie
These cookies are SO easy to make. The most important thing about making these cookies compared to traditional cookies is that you MUST chill the dough before baking.
This prevents the cookies from spreading too much and becoming thin and definitely not soft and chewy.
Also, be aware that when the cookies are initially removed from the oven they will be super soft and fragile. As they cool, they will become sturdier and will be easy to handle 🙂
How to Freeze the Cookie Dough
If you are like me and can’t be trusted with a full batch of cookies sitting around, then this is the tip for you!
After preparing the cookie dough, scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t allow the cookies to touch, but you don’t have to leave the full 2″ between them either.
Place the cookie sheet full of the formed dough into the freezer. Freeze until completely solid, then transfer the cookie dough to a tightly sealed freezer safe container for up to 6 months.
To cook from frozen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees f and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the frozen cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet leaving 2″ between each cookie.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Remove them from the oven and then allow them to cool slightly before serving.
