Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, canola oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well blended.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Lightly spray an oven-safe skillet (approximately 8-10 inches in diameter) with cooking spray.
Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat vanilla ice cream if desired.
