Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups White chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Chopped macadamia nuts
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully blended.

Step 5

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
