Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 large Egg white
- 50 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened apple sauce, and low-fat plain yogurt using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
Step 4
Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the large bowl and continue to beat until fully integrated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, gently folding the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are firm and they are lightly golden on the bottom.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
