Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Low-fat yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar with the unsweetened applesauce until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Add the low-fat yogurt, egg white, and vanilla extract to the sugar-applesauce mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix just until the dough comes together—do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Optional: Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers for more even baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should still be soft when removed from the oven.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optional: Sift powdered sugar over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
