Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups peanut butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.33 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well blended.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
