Ingredients

½cupgranulated sugar

½cupbrown sugar

2tbspbutter,melted

1largeegg white

2tbspapple sauce

1tspvanilla extract

½cupwhole wheat pastry flour

½cupall purpose flour

¼tspbaking soda

⅛tspsalt

½cupmini chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line two cookie sheets with non-stick silicone baking mats or lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend.

In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time until it smooths out.

Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
