I was so excited to see that Lily’s, the brand that makes my favorite sugar free chocolate chips, came out with butterscotch chips, & let me tell you… these butterscotch chips taste like the real thing! They’re my hubby’s favorite cookie! He said they’re buttery with a rich brown sugar flavor that are nostalgic of childhood. Chocolate chip cookies are classic & always good but it’s definitely fun to change up your cookie flavor! When I was baking them I had each of my kiddos come in one at a time & say: “It smells so good in here, what are you making?” The house really did smell divine. My kiddos have been gobbling them up, so I had to hide them 😉 When baked, the butterscotch chips turn into an ooey-gooey caramel-like substance. The best part is you can eat these delightful cookies & stay on plan!

Moms Double Chip Pumpkin Cookies
I know it’s not quite pumpkin season yet, but it’s just around the corner. These pumpkin cookies are sure to put you in the mood for fall weather & crips leaves!
And last but not least, my mom’s classic chocolate chip cookies! We love these right out of the oven or frozen.
Isn’t it fun that we have so many cookie options as THMers? What is your favorite kind of cookie!
Where did you buy the butterscotch chips? Not available on Amazon. Thanks!
Hi Lisa 🙂 I just found them at my neighborhood Walmart. Hopefully Amazon will get them soon!
What is the baking blend and if I don’t have it, is there a substitute? Dying to make these right now! Thanks!
You can just use almond flour if you want, the texture won’t be as soft & it makes them a bit more dense, but the flavor will still be great! I can also send you a homemade baking blend recipe if you’d like 🙂
Hi Molly
Could you send me the baking blend recipe.
Thanks
I’d love to 🙂 What is your email address?
Hi could you please send me the baking blend recipe please. Plz email it to mrsdanselwileyjr1993@gmail.com. Thank you
I couldn’t find the carb count on these cookies. Can you give us the nutritional breakdown
I don’t do nutritional breakdowns on my recipes because one of the biggest THM principles is food freedom so we focus on separating our fuels and not on specific numbers. I usually eat 2 cookies at time or 1 after a meal 🙂
Hi I am looking for a crunchy or slightly crispy cookie on the outside that is chewy in the center. You don’t really describe your cookies by texture so can you direct me to a few Recipes on your site like this? Thank you!
PLEASE send me your baking blend recipe. This recipe looks really good and I want to make it. Thank you!
