Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cup Miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Add the egg white to the applesauce mixture and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gently fold in the miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
