Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg white, combining thoroughly.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a teaspoon or very small cookie scoop, drop tiny amounts of dough (about 1/2 teaspoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these tiny, lower-fat chocolate chip cookies as a delightful snack or treat!
