Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg whites to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
