Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups White chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Chopped macadamia nuts

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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and whisk together until incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy your low-fat white chip macadamia nut cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
