Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 60 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 50 grams Stevia granules (or preferred sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and stevia granules together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly. For a fun pattern, press a crisscross design into the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
