Hurricane Dorian is trying to rip my roof off. The lights are flickering. My phone is blowing up with storm alerts. Flash flooding in in my area. What am I doing? Watching this video about chocolate chip cookies. Priorities my dear, Priorities!
Thanks 💕. We got through with minor damage this time. Some of our neighbors not so fortunate. Praying the worst of this hurricane season is over for us all!
Good you are ok. I live in Los Angeles and we had an earthquake on July 4th, 2019. Well we all have to deal with mother nature. I do not know what a hurricane is like because I has always lived in Los Angeles California but I do know about earthquakes and they are scary but I can imagine a hurricane makes more damage than an earthquake.
I'm fairly new here Wes but I'm LOVING you. You are a breath of fresh air and when I watch your videos I feel like I've been invited into your home. I know these take a long time and a lot of work but you know we all appreciate it!
Yes, that is soooo true!!! I love the way Wes says see you in 5,4,3,2, etc. I love his accent. I just love to listen to him!! Oh, I love the way he reviews each recipe so completely and honestly. You go, Wes!!!
“All I need is a glass of milk and I’d go hide in the corner...” 🤣🤣🤣 Your such a ray of sunshine! I love watching your videos and getting a dose of your AWESOME energy!!! Thanks for making me smile😊
I live in the Deep South, just like Wes. August is what separates the snowbird from the hardcore. Bless his heart, he probably fell in the creek and decided not to come out for a while!
Made these cookies this morning The end result was fabulous! Even though I made mistakes along the way. My husband decided to “help “me by adding the sweetener, well my back was turned, he added the sweetener to the flour mixture… Not the butter I still whipped the butter for the 10 minutes and after adding the eggs I added the flour mixture Then when we were baking the first batch, my husband put the tray of cookies into the oven… With an empty cookie tray underneath. The cooking time went on for quite a while… Till I figured out what he had done! The cookie spread more than they probably should’ve. And I wound up cooking them for about 17 minutes… Because of the extra tray underneath… But they were still fabulous! I believe all that whipped butter gives the finished product the ability to spread unlike most low carb cookies. Thanks for all you do Wesley! You make keto cooking fun!
Thanks for the great video, Wesley! I was reminded by watching it of the fun that I have been missing out on by not watching more of your content. I read through all of the comments of this video before writing this response, and it strikes me that you are very caring and attentive to your viewers. You take time to respond to your viewer's questions, which too many TH-cam producers are too insincere to bother doing. You have a good deal of professional integrity for giving credit to others where it is due. Good for you. You also are very meticulous in your work, have a great deal of knowledge about cooking, and a very enjoyable demeanor in the presentation of your videos. After stressing out a bit on my diet plan, watching your video last night was just a relief to me and a reminder to start having more fun cooking again. It's just relaxing and enjoyable to watch your videos! I've been on keto for 11 months, have lost 45 pounds (down to 170 from 215 at 6'), and enjoy a dessert with each of the two meals I eat a day. I don't have any problems using erythritol and either almond or coconut flour to make enjoyable desserts. I don't miss white sugar or flour at all. Good riddance! The only sugar alcohol that I know of that poses a problem is Xylitol, which you mentioned early in this video. You may already know of this, Wes, but for the sake of your viewers who don't, Xylitol can be fatal for dogs and cats! vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/xylitol-toxicity-in-dogs So, if you're using it, make sure you keep it away from your pets. Xylitol can be used as a sweetener in some other processed foods as well as desserts. On a more pleasant note, has anyone suggested to you a recipe for lemon meringue pie, pecan pie, or carmelitas? Carolyn Ketchum has some great recipes at her site. alldayidreamaboutfood.com/best-low-carb-lemon-meringue-pie/ I already knew that Paola at gnom-gnom.com has excellent stuff. Also a recipe for chicken vindaloo would be fun, though I suspect that you probably have thousands of recipe suggestions already. Anyway, thanks again for all that you do, Wes. You've got a new subscriber in me as of today!
I made KetoConnect chewy cookies last week and took them to the bowling alley. I made both the almond flour and coconut flour versions. The overwhelming opinion was coconut flour was the best. The almond flour version was grainy. Yes, I sifted. Everyone loved the coconut version.
@@julick8412 ratio is never the same . Coconut flour is far more absorbent than almond flour. I like coconut flour but it doesn’t like me. It always sits in my stomach like a brick.
You are really helping me stay honest. I just wish the recipes below the video could be copied and pasted so could have in one place to making recipes!
I made the gnom-gnom cookies yesterday, and they are fantastic. I did use konjac flour, blackstrap molasses, and pecans and pressed a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie before baking. I only baked six of the cookies and froze the rest. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out from frozen. Since I am diabetic, I made these cookies first and then made regular cookies for the rest of the family (saved me from eating the full sugar ones). Anyhow, I am so thankful for your channel. I have made several of the recipes you tested, and they have all been excellent. This is saving my health.
You have presented the best ad for Thrive Market, that they have ever had. I already developed a great chocolate chip cookie recipe, but since I love your show, I watched anyway.....so glad I did. Those prices got my attention and you're always a hoot! I have started playing a little game with your videos: I am an old timer in the kitchen, so after listening to the introduction of the competing recipes, I attempt to pick the winner. This one was a slam dunk for me, but sometimes i am surprised!
The BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe out there is the one by Kristie Sullivan in her book Cooking Keto with Kristie: A Journey Worth Taking. I HIGHLY recommend that one, it use sukrin gold fiber syrup and I used the swerve brown sugar and it was AWESOME. My picky semi-keto adult daughter who sticks her nose up and so many keto versions of foods loves them.
Yayaayayayayayay!!! Thanks Wesley!!! Congrats on the Thrive partnership! I love that site and app! Always so glad to see your face and I can’t wait to BAKE
I am SO DAMN EXCITED you are using Lakanto! Swerve has that tingly cool taste that I don't prefer. Because you finally used Monkfruit I'm gonna get thrive through you. I also appreciate the price comparison which I've never seen any other thrive affiliate do. They all say it's cheaper but you showing side by side nailed it. Thanks for the great vid. Missed you.
I just discovered you because of Matt & Megha’s podcast. I absolutely agree, I prefer a longer cooking video that is thorough such as yours. Loved your video! You’ve got a new subscriber thanks to KetoConnect!
I just made the keto connect recipe and they are delicious! Thank you for all the recipes you review and I Iove how entertaining and well done your video's are. I feel like we are in the kitchen propped up on a bar stool while you cook for us! :-)
Well now I am going to HAVE to try the gnom-gnom recipe! 🙄😳 I have been eating the Keto Connect one. I baked it from the video taped recipe and he said to flatten it slightly in the video. Never even noticed it wasn’t mentioned in the printout. 😁 As usual, I LOVE your videos! Excellent method used to share the actual savings with Thrive Market! That is the first time I have actually thought I should check it out! We buy the Zevia sodas too. My son loves them.
Wonderful recipes Couldn’t wait to try your favorite one Did so today and I wholeheartedly agree with you These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever Thank you for always selecting the best of everything You are so entertaining to watch,a true showman
I just made the winner recipe and OMG!!!!! Just like the real deal!! A cold glass of almond milk with a warm chocolate chip cookie and I felt like I was cheating. I ate it with a fork but the rest of the cookies are cooling on the cooling rack. So satisfying! Thank you for your channel. It’s amazing!!
I’ll tell you I thought they were even better the next day! I put them in Tupperware after they cooled with a paper towel on top to absorb any excess moisture. SO GOOD!
So glad you are back. I always make the keto Connect recipe but add salt and use Knox gelatin, but now I'm going to try Gnom Gnom. Those look like traditional CC cookies. Have you done any chaffle recipes? They seem to be all the rage. Finally, I can't believe this Thrive market shows up today; I ordered my first order yesterday I wish I had waited a day. They do have some good deals.
Yes !!!! Where the heck were ya!!! Thx for this video!! Been waiting for this!! We love you. And miss your content. I hope u guys had a great summer!!! Welcome back!!!’
I adore the Lakanto (drops) in my tea!! It has much less of an aftertaste than some of the others I have tried!! Can’t wait to try a few of these recipes! Sure did miss your videos!! You have a lot of fans!!!😊 P.S. Happy the bridge is open!!😉
Glad to see youi back! Thanks for the fun and the Recipes. You are my favorite Keto themed channel and it is all because of your personality. Keep them videos coming please.
Sprouts has Lily's Milk Chocolate erithrytol sweetened chocolate chips now!!!! Lankanto also has a milk chocolate chocolate chips! I like the Lankanto chips way more than the Lily's dark chocolate stevia sweetened ones. I haven't tried the Lily's milk chocolate yet but I'm sure they're delish too.
I wish we were besties so I could come over on testing days and help. By help, I mean lick the bowl, the spatula, the whisk, and the beaters. You know...HELPING.
I love your video! So many great elements to it; from the price comparisons to the description and breakdown of the cookies. I will be trying the one you recommended for sure! Trying to make yummy and healthy treats for my two toddlers is difficult but this will make my load much lighter. Thanks! 😊
It is so awesome to see a new video from you!! This is the first time I’ve ever commented! I recently started Keto about 11 weeks ago and I just love your videos!! Great info and you always make me smile and laugh!!
Honestly the best is microwaving the Quest bar for 28 seconds. I've been doing it with all their bar flavors and it SAVED ME from diving head first into my kid's Halloween candy bag! The others are too much work for one cookie. Microwaving the Quest bar has been the BEST hack and for me, the 'Microwave In Case Of Emergency' aspect is fantastic!
Hey Wes, I love Keto Connect, my favorite recipe is Meghas Butter Chicken. I switched it for Pork chops and add chili paste. I finally found Arrowroot in a health food store and it's kind of high in carbs. Lakanto should be in Walmart. I 'll check again tomorrow I work there in the houseware section. Love your videos.
So lovely seeing your face again. And I am totally making some chocolate chip cookies this weekend. We'll see if anyone even notices they are not normal here in the house.
Awesome video I now know which receipt to make. Love your taste test. I’m new to the Keto diet so I’m always searching for something sweet and yummy! Thanks!!!
I love your video's....you really always give me a giggle. You should have your own food network show! Thank you for all the product recipes you test for all of us!
I’m always so excited when you post a new video Wesley, it’s the highlight of my day. They are so craft-fully done and your personality is the cherry on top! You crack me up!!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Gmom-gnom has updated her recipe in June 2019. AHMAZING...my fave by far...bake 'em and freeze in ziploc bags. Love them even right out of the freezer. Also, takes slightly longer to eat one 😃!
I’m seriously jealous of your kitchen set up! It’s very open and inviting! My kitchen is pretty tiny and it makes recording videos a bit of a challenge. But I make it work. lol
I have tried Keto connects cookies and I could tell by watching the process of gnom gnom’s that they were going to be great! Also I had to stop using pure erythritol because of the taste and hurting my tummy. Lakanto is a much better blend! Thanks for the video and I hope you dispersed those cookies quickly 😂😬
Thanks for stopping by, Connie! Make yourself at home! I’ve seen several of her fans over here today and now I know why. I had to subscribe to her - she’s so fun! ❤️
Glad you are getting a cool endorsement!! You are a great resource for a keto newbie I would have been really in a situation if I hadn't had you Wes. 75 lbs later, I appreciate you!! I hope you do more videos. While ON VACATION (😂) I tried healthy noodles while browsing in Costco (there were very few keto choices where we went on the CA coast. Wes, if you have not tried these noodles, they are amazing!! So much so, that on our drive home we stopped at my Mom's. I thought we should give the noodles the "Dad check." He had 2 servings! He would have spit the shiratake noodles right out FOR SURE. Mom said they were amazing. 1 carb! I don't work for them (yet, lol) but I missed pasta SO MUCH I thought I should let you know in case you miss pasta 😍 xoxo keep recording Wes!
Miss you Wes! Glad to see you back! 😘 BTW I got your 'Low Carb High Snark' shirt a while back and everyone just loves it! Not one time has passed that I haven't gotten a compliment while wearing it... I tell them to watch your videos and subscribe! 😉 Can't wait til your next video!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I already know you're going to make my day 100% better! Your videos convinced me that doing keto wouldn't be so bad, and you have made me feel so human while doing it! Love love love you, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos!
I think you are correct about the whipping time with the butter send sweetener. When I make traditional chocolate chip cookies, I whip the butter and sugar several minutes, and it makes a huge difference. I do keto and appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for another great battle video, Wes! Of all the foods in the world, I miss the chewy, buttery, vanilla taste of cookies most. Future idea: I would love to see you find the best keto recipe for apple (AKA zucchini) bread/muffin recipe. :)
I’m so glad you posted this challenge! I made some chocolate chip cookies that were just horrible! It was a waste of time and pricey ingredients. I’m going to a meeting in a few days and would love to bring the cookies from gnom-gnom. Paola is a recipe GODDESS! You are so wonderful to weed out just the best recipes. Love your videos. Congratulations on getting Thrive Market as a sponsor; that is no small feat.
Great review! Longtime watcher, first-time subscriber. Have enjoyed your channel for a while now. Keep up the good work! I have to think that all that air whipped into the Gnom-Gnom cookie produces the lighter, crispier exterior. Going to experiment with these a bit myself.
Thank you so much for another excellent video! Your personality and your delivery makes you very enjoyable to listen to as I make the 20 to 30 minute drive back home after teaching a hot yoga class. And chocolate chip cookies are just right for this time of year.
I tried one recipe that said it would make chocolate chip cookies, and it actually turned out to be chocolate chip muffins, very dry and crumbly though.
Your back!! We missed you! Definitely making these this weekend! Thank you and don’t be a stranger. You have the best keto content on here and you have the funnest energy. Our whole family are huge fans!
I’ve made the gnom-gnom recipe several times. It is by far the best. I have given them to my non Keto friends and they love them too. I do freeze the dough and make about 4 at a time because they are so good. I also add the molasses that is recommended and pecans.
Thanks so much for your comment! Thew cookies were delicious without Molasses. But after your comment, I went out to buy the blackstrap molasses. You did use blackstrap, right?
Your vids are amazing, thank you so much for doing this! It's so frustrating to spend so much on ingredients only to have a recipe turn out icky and disappointing on low carb stuff! Thank you for doing what you do, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Good to see you Wes!! WOW! We do have all the stores you listed! I'm sorry you don't have them locally!! Thanks for the video! I love that you do this for us.
Walmart now carries a sugar free chocolate chip made with stevia similar to Lily’s called Bake Believe. They are about $4 a bag compared to the $6 to $8 you pay for Lily’s. Bake Believe chips come in white chocolate, semi-sweet, and dark.
Great to know! I found Lily's chocolate chips in one of the Walmart neighborhood markets in our area and of course now, I can't remember which one! I do some contract work for some different companies and I'm in and out of a lot of Walmart stores sometimes...
I've decided that I want to become a neighbor of yours to help you take care of all the extra foods that you have after you shoot a video! What do you think? LOL!
Loved the video as always Wes! The funny thing is, I make the Keto Connect recipe but instead of melted butter I whip it for at least 10 minutes with the erythritol. I actually got the idea from your tea cake video. It makes them more light and delicate and no cooling erythritol aftertaste.
Paola from gnom gnom is not a keto chef, SHE'S A MAGICIAN!!! I tried to make a low carb version of the chocolate chip cookies that Bon Appetit made, delicious but so many ingredients!!!
@@sheken81 YES! Pure magical genius. Her recipes dominate in my kitchen. And there's no craving she hasn't fully satisfied as well or better than the carb-filled counterpart.
I'm so glad to see you. I was thinking maybe you'd fallen off the Keto wagon and stopped your channel. I think of you as a real person, and missed you. I wanted you to know that you do a great job of seeming genuine. If Keto connect stopped broadcasting, I'd miss the recipes, but there are other places to get recipes. But I wouldn't really care if they stopped or stopped being Keto. I'm so glad that you have found something that helps with your weight and can stick to. It gives me hope
any possibility of making an updated chocolate chip keto cookie battle? Id love to see the Big Mans World one on there. it looks so much like a regular cookie but with extra chocolate chips. would love to see ur opinion on theirs.
There's my guy !!! How are you !! ♡ ♡ 😘 I was sooo happy when I got a notification !!! Hope your doing well !!! I'm a new Thrive Member !!!! Now ..... let's watch your video !!!
Yaassss! I needed this in my life! I hate making Keto recipes and they end up being a disappointment. I made some cookies a few weeks ago and they turned out thick like those Keto connect ones. I am ready to try the gnom gnom recipe. Thanks for doing this.
Hi Wes, thanks for your videos which are helpful and entertaining. Would you test bread pudding recipes or come up with one? Love the stuff and miss it.

I see this is 1 year ago, but I like this guy he is honest, and very entertaining. I also appreciate him doing the taste test. Thank you.
Well now I am going to HAVE to try the gnom-gnom recipe! 🙄😳 I have been eating the Keto Connect one. I baked it from the video taped recipe and he said to flatten it slightly in the video. Never even noticed it wasn’t mentioned in the printout. 😁 As usual, I LOVE your videos! Excellent method used to share the actual savings with Thrive Market! That is the first time I have actually thought I should check it out! We buy the Zevia sodas too. My son loves them.
I've made the KetoConnect chewy chocolate chip cookies several times and I love them. They do come out chewy and they are awesome!!!
Wonderful recipes
Couldn’t wait to try your favorite one
Did so today and I wholeheartedly agree with you
These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever
Thank you for always selecting the best of everything
You are so entertaining to watch,a true showman
I just made the winner recipe and OMG!!!!! Just like the real deal!! A cold glass of almond milk with a warm chocolate chip cookie and I felt like I was cheating. I ate it with a fork but the rest of the cookies are cooling on the cooling rack. So satisfying! Thank you for your channel. It’s amazing!!
I’ll tell you I thought they were even better the next day! I put them in Tupperware after they cooled with a paper towel on top to absorb any excess moisture. SO GOOD!
Highfalutin' Low Carb Oh wow! That’s how I’ll store them then. Can’t wait for morning coffee and another cookie 🍪😋❤️
So glad you are back. I always make the keto Connect recipe but add salt and use Knox gelatin, but now I'm going to try Gnom Gnom. Those look like traditional CC cookies. Have you done any chaffle recipes? They seem to be all the rage. Finally, I can't believe this Thrive market shows up today; I ordered my first order yesterday I wish I had waited a day. They do have some good deals.
Yes !!!! Where the heck were ya!!! Thx for this video!! Been waiting for this!! We love you. And miss your content. I hope u guys had a great summer!!! Welcome back!!!’
I adore the Lakanto (drops) in my tea!! It has much less of an aftertaste than some of the others I have tried!! Can’t wait to try a few of these recipes! Sure did miss your videos!! You have a lot of fans!!!😊
P.S. Happy the bridge is open!!😉
Glad to see youi back! Thanks for the fun and the Recipes. You are my favorite Keto themed channel and it is all because of your personality. Keep them videos coming please.
Sprouts has Lily's Milk Chocolate erithrytol sweetened chocolate chips now!!!! Lankanto also has a milk chocolate chocolate chips! I like the Lankanto chips way more than the Lily's dark chocolate stevia sweetened ones. I haven't tried the Lily's milk chocolate yet but I'm sure they're delish too.
They're even carrying several different flavors!
On Lakanto's website it cost $79.92 for an 8 oz. bag of chips! I don't think so!
I have started finding lily's milk chocolate chips at Walmart! yay! They are sweeter and creamier than the dark.
Bake Believe chips are good & cheaper at wallyworld! I'm a convert now!
I wish we were besties so I could come over on testing days and help. By help, I mean lick the bowl, the spatula, the whisk, and the beaters. You know...HELPING.
Bridget McArthur 😂😂
Wow! That almost sounds X-rated. 😊😊😊😊😉😉😉😉❤❤❤❤
I love your video! So many great elements to it; from the price comparisons to the description and breakdown of the cookies. I will be trying the one you recommended for sure! Trying to make yummy and healthy treats for my two toddlers is difficult but this will make my load much lighter. Thanks! 😊
It is so awesome to see a new video from you!! This is the first time I’ve ever commented! I recently started Keto about 11 weeks ago and I just love your videos!! Great info and you always make me smile and laugh!!
Thank you for watching and finally commenting, Shannon! Welcome aboard and good luck on your keto journey! ❤️❤️👍👍
That's what happened! I thought you quit YT. Glad to see you are still here Wesley. I really do enjoy & appreciate your testing these recipes.
So happy to see you again Wes! Thanks for the video & all that you do to make all of your videos so awesome, entertaining & informative for all of us.
OMG, I’ve missed you! I’m so glad you’re back. I’ll give these a try soon.
I came back to again reiterate these gnom gnom chocolate chip cookies are the bomb. I now make them every weekend....soooooo good folks.
Thank you for the info on Thrive. And Thank you for the pictures of the ingredients!! Very helpful. 😍🥰😘
Honestly the best is microwaving the Quest bar for 28 seconds. I've been doing it with all their bar flavors and it SAVED ME from diving head first into my kid's Halloween candy bag! The others are too much work for one cookie. Microwaving the Quest bar has been the BEST hack and for me, the 'Microwave In Case Of Emergency' aspect is fantastic!
I used to keep my almond flour in the freezer, seems like you get more lumps that way. Now I keep it in the fridge, works awesome, not lumpy 😂😂😂
Why do u keep your flour in the fridge?
Hey Wes, I love Keto Connect, my favorite recipe is Meghas Butter Chicken. I switched it for Pork chops and add chili paste. I finally found Arrowroot in a health food store and it's kind of high in carbs. Lakanto should be in Walmart. I 'll check again tomorrow I work there in the houseware section. Love your videos.
So lovely seeing your face again. And I am totally making some chocolate chip cookies this weekend. We'll see if anyone even notices they are not normal here in the house.
Keto homemade starbucks showdown next??!!!
Make that a FALL FLAVOR latte throwdown! LOL
PLEASE!!!
Coffee + heavy cream + stevia
Awesome video I now know which receipt to make. Love your taste test. I’m new to the Keto diet so I’m always searching for something sweet and yummy! Thanks!!!
Costco has the best price on Almond flour. I am sorry to hear that you don't have one nearby.
Doris , Costco.com! 😀👍😀
Costco now carries the Lakanto golden sweetner too now. Yay!
It looks like the closest one to Wes is an hour away in Mobile, Alabama.
It is beautiful quality!
My Costco is an hour away. It is worth it to go once a month to stock up. 3# of almond flour is around $13!
@@CuttoothsRoom It's not offered online.
Love your videos, keep them coming. Thanks for your time and knowledge.
I love your video's....you really always give me a giggle. You should have your own food network show! Thank you for all the product recipes you test for all of us!
I so enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for including price comparisons. I hope you're able to upload more often in the future.
I made gnom gnom's cc cookies today....my soul and body the cookies were the best, hands down keto chocolate chip cookies EVER!!
I rarely hit the bell notification for anyone. I did for you. I absolutely love your channel.
I missed you! so happy to see a new video! ....can you try CHAFFLES??? :D :D
I’m always so excited when you post a new video Wesley, it’s the highlight of my day. They are so craft-fully done and your personality is the cherry on top! You crack me up!!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Gmom-gnom has updated her recipe in June 2019. AHMAZING...my fave by far...bake 'em and freeze in ziploc bags. Love them even right out of the freezer. Also, takes slightly longer to eat one 😃!
I made this video just last month, so I must have used the updated recipe. I’m curious what her change was? All I know is they were delicious! 😍😊
I have that very same portion scoop! I am so happy to find your channel. thank you so much for your efforts to help with recipes!
You're doing a great job testing all this recipes for us. Big Thank You! ❤️
*Another fantastic cookie recipe. Thank you for sharing* 😊
Have you done a battle between graham cracker recipes? What about biscuits? Ice cream? Orange chicken or some other Asian dish?
Yay!! You were greatly missed, Wesley!! This is a great battle! Can’t wait to see what else is coming up!!
I’m seriously jealous of your kitchen set up! It’s very open and inviting! My kitchen is pretty tiny and it makes recording videos a bit of a challenge. But I make it work. lol
"Left with 18 cookies for wesley to sit and eat" .... So funny! 😂. I'm right there with you my friend. Great video as always. Thank you.
I have tried Keto connects cookies and I could tell by watching the process of gnom gnom’s that they were going to be great! Also I had to stop using pure erythritol because of the taste and hurting my tummy. Lakanto is a much better blend! Thanks for the video and I hope you dispersed those cookies quickly 😂😬
Kristi Davis is your biggest fan...she sent me. So glad she did, your great!
Thanks for stopping by, Connie! Make yourself at home! I’ve seen several of her fans over here today and now I know why. I had to subscribe to her - she’s so fun! ❤️
Glad you are getting a cool endorsement!! You are a great resource for a keto newbie I would have been really in a situation if I hadn't had you Wes. 75 lbs later, I appreciate you!! I hope you do more videos.
While ON VACATION (😂) I tried healthy noodles while browsing in Costco (there were very few keto choices where we went on the CA coast. Wes, if you have not tried these noodles, they are amazing!! So much so, that on our drive home we stopped at my Mom's. I thought we should give the noodles the "Dad check." He had 2 servings! He would have spit the shiratake noodles right out FOR SURE. Mom said they were amazing. 1 carb! I don't work for them (yet, lol) but I missed pasta SO MUCH I thought I should let you know in case you miss pasta 😍 xoxo keep recording Wes!
Miss you Wes! Glad to see you back! 😘 BTW I got your 'Low Carb High Snark' shirt a while back and everyone just loves it! Not one time has passed that I haven't gotten a compliment while wearing it... I tell them to watch your videos and subscribe! 😉 Can't wait til your next video!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I already know you're going to make my day 100% better! Your videos convinced me that doing keto wouldn't be so bad, and you have made me feel so human while doing it! Love love love you, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos!
So glad you are making videos! You make them fun! Much appreciated. 😀
Thrive Market is the BEST! Glad they are sponsoring you! Also, glad you made a new video!!
You always brighten up my day!! I hope you don't ever stop!! 🤗💝🎉
I think you are correct about the whipping time with the butter send sweetener. When I make traditional chocolate chip cookies, I whip the butter and sugar several minutes, and it makes a huge difference. I do keto and appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Happy to see a new recipe showdown from you Wes. Extra points for chocolate chip cookies!
I live to hear Wes say “sift, y’all”. 💜
Every time I go to bake something that takes almond flour I can hear Wes going you got to sift to get those lumps out😂
Thanks for another great battle video, Wes! Of all the foods in the world, I miss the chewy, buttery, vanilla taste of cookies most. Future idea: I would love to see you find the best keto recipe for apple (AKA zucchini) bread/muffin recipe. :)
I’m so glad you posted this challenge! I made some chocolate chip cookies that were just horrible! It was a waste of time and pricey ingredients. I’m going to a meeting in a few days and would love to bring the cookies from gnom-gnom. Paola is a recipe GODDESS! You are so wonderful to weed out just the best recipes.
Love your videos. Congratulations on getting Thrive Market as a sponsor; that is no small feat.
Great review! Longtime watcher, first-time subscriber. Have enjoyed your channel for a while now. Keep up the good work!
I have to think that all that air whipped into the Gnom-Gnom cookie produces the lighter, crispier exterior. Going to experiment with these a bit myself.
Thank you so much for another excellent video! Your personality and your delivery makes you very enjoyable to listen to as I make the 20 to 30 minute drive back home after teaching a hot yoga class. And chocolate chip cookies are just right for this time of year.
I tried one recipe that said it would make chocolate chip cookies, and it actually turned out to be chocolate chip muffins, very dry and crumbly though.
Your back!! We missed you! Definitely making these this weekend! Thank you and don’t be a stranger. You have the best keto content on here and you have the funnest energy. Our whole family are huge fans!
I’ve made the gnom-gnom recipe several times. It is by far the best. I have given them to my non Keto friends and they love them too. I do freeze the dough and make about 4 at a time because they are so good. I also add the molasses that is recommended and pecans.
Thanks so much for your comment! Thew cookies were delicious without Molasses. But after your comment, I went out to buy the blackstrap molasses. You did use blackstrap, right?
Your vids are amazing, thank you so much for doing this! It's so frustrating to spend so much on ingredients only to have a recipe turn out icky and disappointing on low carb stuff! Thank you for doing what you do, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
good to hear you can say pecan the right way
The right way just depends on where you're born
Good to see you Wes!! WOW! We do have all the stores you listed! I'm sorry you don't have them locally!! Thanks for the video! I love that you do this for us.
Aw, you didn't say "Y'all! We're making cookies! Come on!"
Walmart now carries a sugar free chocolate chip made with stevia similar to Lily’s called Bake Believe. They are about $4 a bag compared to the $6 to $8 you pay for Lily’s. Bake Believe chips come in white chocolate, semi-sweet, and dark.
Great to know! I found Lily's chocolate chips in one of the Walmart neighborhood markets in our area and of course now, I can't remember which one! I do some contract work for some different companies and I'm in and out of a lot of Walmart stores sometimes...
Someone else had mentioned this, so I went to my Walmart to find the Bake Believe and instead found they started carrying Lily's at $4.xx LOL
Those chips are hard to find
😳😳😳 white chocolate too?? Oh. My. Goodness. Thanks for the heads up!💚
"Simmer down!"
Makin' me homesick, Wes! (Glad to have you back!)
I've decided that I want to become a neighbor of yours to help you take care of all the extra foods that you have after you shoot a video! What do you think? LOL!
Loved the video as always Wes! The funny thing is, I make the Keto Connect recipe but instead of melted butter I whip it for at least 10 minutes with the erythritol. I actually got the idea from your tea cake video. It makes them more light and delicate and no cooling erythritol aftertaste.
Added macadamians to the gnom-gnom recipe. They were the best keto cc cookie I've made over last 2 yrs . Ty!!
Paola from gnom gnom is not a keto chef, SHE'S A MAGICIAN!!! I tried to make a low carb version of the chocolate chip cookies that Bon Appetit made, delicious but so many ingredients!!!
I agree 100% with this statement!
Glad to see another loyal Paola fan here who knows how incredibly awesome her recipes are 😄
@@DivaliciousMD the woman is a genius!
@@sheken81 YES! Pure magical genius. Her recipes dominate in my kitchen. And there's no craving she hasn't fully satisfied as well or better than the carb-filled counterpart.
I'm so glad to see you. I was thinking maybe you'd fallen off the Keto wagon and stopped your channel. I think of you as a real person, and missed you. I wanted you to know that you do a great job of seeming genuine. If Keto connect stopped broadcasting, I'd miss the recipes, but there are other places to get recipes. But I wouldn't really care if they stopped or stopped being Keto. I'm so glad that you have found something that helps with your weight and can stick to. It gives me hope
I'll go hide in the corner ( with the cookies and milk). Too funny, Wesley. 🤣😅😂
any possibility of making an updated chocolate chip keto cookie battle? Id love to see the Big Mans World one on there. it looks so much like a regular cookie but with extra chocolate chips. would love to see ur opinion on theirs.
There's my guy !!! How are you !! ♡ ♡ 😘 I was sooo happy when I got a notification !!! Hope your doing well !!! I'm a new Thrive Member !!!! Now ..... let's watch your video !!!
I'm very happy to see you doing much better in terms of apparent health, you seem more in shape and motivated!
You look like the sweetest man. Wishing you the best of luck with your journey!
Yaassss! I needed this in my life! I hate making Keto recipes and they end up being a disappointment. I made some cookies a few weeks ago and they turned out thick like those Keto connect ones. I am ready to try the gnom gnom recipe. Thanks for doing this.
Can you take the fridge batter and roll it into a log wrapped in Saran Wrap before they go in the fridge, and then cut slices instead of scoops?
Hi Wes, thanks for your videos which are helpful and entertaining. Would you test bread pudding recipes or come up with one? Love the stuff and miss it.
You fighting with the wire cooling rack was very satisfyingly Southern.
