Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cup Miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Step 4
Add the egg white to the applesauce mixture and beat until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 6
Gently fold in the miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
