Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and non-fat Greek yogurt until combined.
Step 4
Add vanilla extract and egg white to the wet ingredients and beat until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring constantly, until just combined and a dough forms.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar coating.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 8
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
