Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-calorie sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add the egg white to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 9
Once completely cooled, enjoy your delicious, low-calorie sugar cookies!
