Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick and smooth batter forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies look set and slightly crackled. Be careful not to overbake; they should remain soft and fudgy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low-fat brownie cookies as a healthier take on a classic dessert!
