Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and non-fat Greek yogurt until combined.
Add vanilla extract and egg white to the wet ingredients and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring constantly, until just combined and a dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar coating.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
