Foolin' the Kids Chocolate Chip Cookies

My little girl will not be fooled with "no sugar" treats but she loves these cookies. Mommy does too!
Please try them and let me know what you think. I invented this recipe using a couple others so tell me if you found a way to improve it.

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup xylitol

3/4 cup agave

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons hot water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups grain sweetened chocolate chips (I got these at Sprouts)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Cream together the butter, xylitol, and agave until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
3. Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
