Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Make sure not to overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for rolling.

Step 6

Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.

Step 9

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. The cookies should still be soft in the center.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your low-fat snickerdoodles!
