Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Packed light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the applesauce mixture, and blend until smooth.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 9-10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will continue to set while cooling.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your deliciously chewy, low-fat chocolate chip cookies!
