In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set this bowl aside.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar alternatives. I use a paddle attachment and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
For the next step we are going to add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the ingredients in the second bowl. To do so, add half of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, stir gently and then add the remaining ingredients and stir gently again. Then add the eggs and the vanilla extract. Mix these ingredient until just blended, do not overmix!
Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips. Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to brown. Larger cookies will most likely take longer than smaller cookies to bake. Also, some folks prefer their cookies baked longer than others.
