Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and whisk together until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat white chip macadamia nut cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
