Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-calorie sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Add the egg white to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Once completely cooled, enjoy your delicious, low-calorie sugar cookies!
