Problems with home made choc chip cookie, please help

usachick · Mar 1st 2016, 6:02am

Hi

I used the following ingredients to make only 50g of choc chip cookies, but they didn't come out well,

Wheat protein isolate
Resistant wheat starch
Flax-seed meal flour
Vital wheat gluten
butter (i can't believe its not butter)
Egg & egg whites
Vanilla Extract
semi-sweet free choc chips,
Baking Powder
cocoa powder
For sweetener: stevia extract, monk fruit

Problems I had were they were not moist and were very dry, they also came out very dark in color not like normal choc chip cookies, please advise what i did wrong, did i add too much or too less, pictures are attached, look forward to your replies,

Thanks

Welcome Bethy

I'm not familiar with using those ingredients, I prefer to just use nut meals/flours.

Here's a couple of recipes to try:

Low Carb Choc Chip Shortbread

Chocolate chip cookies

I just noticed you used i can't believe its not butter, unless you're very dairy sensitive please use real butter, its much better for you!

Hi Sherrie,

I am diabetic thus I have to watch what I eat and I count my carbs daily, thus I was trying to make a cookie which is 1 carb as I have a very sweet tooth lol, I look forward to hearing others responses,

Thanks

These aren't cookies but give these a try: Low Carb Cream Cheese Muffins (Cheesecakes)

sherrie thank you for the link, but they are high in fat, i have cholesterol and that will not help, also based on your understanding do you think i added less fat to my cookies that's why they are so dry, and the color could be because of too much cocoa powder?

Thanks

You can't do low carb and low fat all that would mean is that you eat high protein which your body will turn to glucose.

Try these: A/Prof. Ken Sikaris - Cholesterol

so i have to do low carb but high fat and protein?

Protein shouldn't be high but more moderate otherwise excess protein will cause spikes in your sugars, this is why you need fat so that calories do not get too low plus fat has other important functions plus it also makes your lifestyle much more palatable
