Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
