FAQ
Can I use regular sugar instead of sugar substitutes?
Yes, but this will no longer be keto-friendly. Use the same amounts of granulated and brown sugar as called for in the recipe.
What if I don't have sugar-free chocolate chips?
You can omit them entirely, use chopped nuts, or use regular chocolate chips if not following keto diet.
How long do these keep?
Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
