Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened apple sauce
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Egg white (large)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao or higher)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened apple sauce, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract, egg white, and Greek yogurt to the wet mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may appear slightly undercooked in the center; this will result in a chewier texture as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these guilt-free chocolate chunk cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
