never know they aren't made with real sugar!I bought the ingredients for the recipe of course I didn't know how they'd taste so I cut the recipe in half (I regret it now) Because these are very good and I'm no baker!

Made with out sugar and dairy!So what is a vegan to do, with a terrible sweet tooth? Make cookies of course! This recipe is pretty straight forward . I subbed vegan butter (can also use coconut oil ) for the butter and subbed mashed bananas for the egg and instead of water I used full fat coconut milk because, why not ? Very tasty low sugar and satiated my chocolate craving

AddictiveThe chocolate flavor is truly present in the finished product. This is probably due to the cocoa powder and the contrasting sweet/saltiness of the Truvia and sea salt combination. My husband and son actually request that I make these again and again. Definitely not a typical reaction to my cooking or baking!

Rave Reviews from my bookclub!!!I made three s
dozen of these decadent cookies for my bookclub night and they disappeared before we finished discussing the first chapter! When I was asked for the recipe, shock and surprise was written over each face as they realized that these goodies were made with Truvia!!! I think you have a few more new converts! Keep tasting so great.

Chocolate GoodnessI followed the recipe and used quality Dutch Coco and I added a TBSP of finely ground Starbucks Christmas Espresso blend whole beans. I ground the beans until they were like powder and added it to the dry ingredients. When I brushed the cool down cookies with the Truvia & water mixture I added the salt and then red and green sprinkles for Christmas.

Tastes like a cookie from a fancy bakeryFabulous recipe! These are the best low-sugar cookies I've tasted. If you are a chocolate lover, this is the cookie for you. I made one change to the recipe - I used cold coffee instead of water when applying the salt to the cookies at the end.
