Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg white
• 0.5 cups Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0 Cooking spray or parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg white. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using slightly dampened fingers, flatten each mound of dough slightly to help them spread evenly while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your reduced fat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
