OK...Here it is folks. My first origional CLEAN cookie recipe and its delicious! No guilt here. These cookies are healthy enough to serve as a pre-workout energy boost or in-between meal snack. And my kids love them, too:)
- 2/3 C natural applesauce
- 1 C agave nectar (in the sugar aisle)
- 4 egg whites
- 1 T pure vanilla
- 3 C whole wheat flour (finely ground is best)
- 1 teasp salt
- 1 teasp baking soda
- 1/2- 1 bag of dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350* F. Whisk applesauce, agave nectar, egg whites and vanilla until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Slowly add wet ingredients to flour mixture and combine with rubber spatula. (The mixture will be sticky.)
- Pour in the dark chocolate chips and gently mix.
- Using 2 spoons, scoop and drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet.
- Bake for 11 minutes, cool in pan for 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack until completely cool.
*Makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
