Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg whites to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chunks into the dough until evenly distributed.
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 and the cookies are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few 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.
