Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which creates the chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
