Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened apple sauce
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg white (large)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
• 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao or higher)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened apple sauce, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, egg white, and Greek yogurt to the wet mixture. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may appear slightly undercooked in the center; this will result in a chewier texture as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these guilt-free chocolate chunk cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
