Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat margarine (or light butter)
- 0.25 cup Mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate larger bowl, combine the coconut sugar, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, water, and low-fat margarine. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, let it rest for 5 minutes to firm up a bit.
Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips (if using).
Using a teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are firm to the touch.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat crispy cookies with a cup of tea or coffee as a delightful snack or dessert!
