Giant Valentine Cookies

Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a GIANT cookie. these big cookies are about 4-5 regular sized cookies in ONE. BIG. COOKIE. And do you want to know a secret? They’re made with HALF the amount of sugar as the originals. That’s right, I was able to shave off half the sugar by making a couple of simple swaps.

The first swap that I made was subbing in a brown sugar/stevia blend for the regular brown sugar. I also swapped half of the original sugar for a granulated stevia. the important part here is the granulated part. While you could use any other natural sweetener that measures cup for cup like sugar, I prefer the granulated one since it doesn’t have the usual fake sweetener taste.

When I say that these cookies are delicious, I mean it. They are DELICIOUS. You’ll never in a million years guess that they are made with half the sugar. For the candies, I went with 1/2 C. giant chocolate chips, 1/2 C. candy coated chocolates, and 1/2 C. valentine sprinkles. But, you can go with any amount of which ever to get to your 1 1/2 C. candies.

No matter how much of which, your valentine is sure to love these GIANT homemade cookies!
