I Tested an AI-Generated Low Sugar Cookie Recipe

In this video, I’m sharing the story behind my quest to create the perfect low-sugar chocolate chip cookie-one that even my sugar-loving husband can’t resist. I decided it was time to try a healthier cookie makeover. But not just any recipe-I turned to AI for help. I’ll walk you through why I wanted a lower-sugar, higher-protein option, the ingredients I had on hand, and how I tested ChatGPT’s recipe to see if it could actually deliver a delicious, traditional-tasting cookie. We’re putting AI’s baking skills to the ultimate test. The only parameters I give them were I wanted it higher protein, and I wanted it to use Bake Believe Brand chocolate chips because that's what I had, (dark and semisweet). a monk fruit/allulose blend of sweetener, and a molasses to mimic the depth of brown sugar.
I thought they were okay.....my son, husband and my son's girlfriend all said they were good, but my husband thought they needed more chocolate chips....I'd agree with that. If you try them, let me know what you think.
Should I try more AI recipes? Trust them, or not?

Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
1 ½ cups almond flour
½ cup oat flour (or more almond flour for grain-free)
¼ cup whey or plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
¼ cup butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
¼ cup monk fruit/allulose blend
1 tsp molasses (adds the “brown sugar” flavor without much sugar)
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins:
½ cup Bake Believe chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to cream the softened butter, monk fruit/allulose blend, and molasses until light and fluffy. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft but should hold together. If it's too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the Bake Believe chocolate chips
Scoop and Shape:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork, as these cookies won’t spread much.
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. Be careful not to overbake-these cookies are best slightly underdone for a soft texture.
Cool and Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They’ll firm up as they cool.
Nutritional Benefits (Approx. per cookie):
Higher protein thanks to almond flour and protein powder.
Low sugar due to the monk fruit/allulose blend and Bake Believe chips.
Molasses adds depth of flavor with minimal sugar impact.
Almond flour provides healthy fats and fiber, while oat flour keeps them tender.
Here are the macros per cookie (based on 16 cookies):
Your high-protein, low-sugar cookies:
Calories: ~145
Protein: ~1.4g
Carbs: ~3.7g
Standard chocolate chip cookie:
Calories: ~150
Protein: ~1.5g
Carbs: ~22g
Comparison:
Your cookies have almost the same calories but WAY fewer carbs (about 3.7g vs. 22g). However, the protein is only slightly higher than a standard cookie. If you want to boost protein further, you could try increasing the protein powder or adding collagen peptides!

Good to cut down on added sugar. Last year, CDC recommended children under 2, including in utero, receive no added sugar and older people limit to only 200 cal per day. I understand this was based on an analysis showing strong corrolation to sugar rationing in Britain and drop in type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Hi Rachel 💖
If I am really desperate for a cookie 🍪 I would love your chocolate chip cookie recipe. Young men usually will hoover everything in their path with vigorous speed. You can bet your hubby and sons love your cookies the best of all. I hate computer generated stuff. I pay people in cash and use cash for everything with the exception of my house and my car. Everything I do is old fashioned so your own recipes would be great. I will be watching all your videos regardless of my likes . There is a question I would like Siri to answer. What can we do to make worldwide peace rule our planet? I love your spirit and your show. ☮️💟🖖CC
