After totalling nailing last week’s delicious Sugar Free Key Lime Pie, I was so happy with my biscuit base that I decided it was high time for me to once again try the dreaded cookie recipe.

Sugar-free cookies are notoriously tricky beasts to get exactly right; or, at least I find they are, and so I’ve invented some science to back me up. Y’see, cookies depend on the Maillard Reaction to dictate how they turn out: it controls everything from their spread to their browning to their crispiness and all of the delicious reactions in between. And since sugar tends to be a pretty big ingredient in a lot of cookie recipes (I found one that contained TWO TABLESPOONS of sugar per cookie!), baking without being able to rely on those cookie-defining chemical reactions means you have to get a little creative, and used to a lot of failure.

BUT! These Hobnobs are, in my estimation, pretty awesome (and if you’re American and have no idea what a Hobnob is: a) it’s like an oaty cookie; and b) you’re totally missing out), and this is the third batch I made for myself in less than a week. I’ve made them both full of gluten and butter, and more recently as this totally dairy-free, gluten-free vegan masterpiece. And let’s not forget that most important defining feature: CHOCOLATE. I have finally found an absolutely spectacular sugar-free chocolate that I predict I shall be using in ALL of my recipes from now on, so I hope you’ve got your loose-fitting pyjama bottoms on.
