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 Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Macadamia nuts
- 0.25 cups White chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and beat until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips into the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the tops are set.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to five days.
