What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
We’re keeping it light, sweet, and WW-friendly with smart swaps and clean flavors.
- All-purpose flour, 1 cup: Forms the structure and gives that classic cookie texture.
- Baking powder, 1 tsp: Helps the cookies rise and stay soft.
- Salt, 1/4 tsp: Balances the sweetness.
- Unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup: Replaces oil or butter to cut fat while keeping the cookies moist.
- Light brown sugar, 1/3 cup (packed): Just enough to sweeten without overdoing it.
- Egg white, 1 large: Adds protein and binding without the fat of the yolk.
- Vanilla extract, 1 tsp: Brings out the cookie flavor.
- Mini chocolate chips, 2 tbsp: You get little chocolate bursts without adding too many points.
