Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces butter or oil)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar substitute (or sweetener of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (preferably semi-sweet or dark chocolate)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and egg white. Stir until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough.
  6. Form the cookies: Using a teaspoon or mini cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking since these are mini cookies and cook quickly.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
