• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

3. Shape the Cookies:

1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
2. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
3. Flatten each dough ball slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

4. Bake the Cookies:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
2. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
