LOW FAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.  Line two cookie sheets with non-stick silicone baking mats (I highly recommend for best results) 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 (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
• Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.
• Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
• Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
• Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
• Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
