Chocolate Chip Cookies
 
 YIELD: About 4 dozen  
 
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon white stevia powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1  1/4 cups chocolate chips
1.   Preheat the oven to 350 F.  Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.* 
2.   In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, and set aside.  
3.   Place the egg, stevia, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl, and beat well with a wooden spoon or an electric hand-held mixer.  Slowly add the butter, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4.   Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition.  Fold in the chocolate chips.
5.    Drop heaping teaspoons of batter on the cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.

*    Instead of greasing a cookie sheet, you can cover it with parchment paper, which makes for quick and easy cleanup.
