Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 large Egg white
- 50 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened apple sauce, and low-fat plain yogurt using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the large bowl and continue to beat until fully integrated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, gently folding the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are firm and they are lightly golden on the bottom.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
