Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which creates the chewy texture.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
