Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 egg white
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet 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 powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat together the applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree and egg white to the wet mixture, and stir until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
