Light Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Sometimes you just need to eat a cookie.  

But just because I need a cookie doesn’t mean I have to throw out all reason, LOL! So I decided to make these a little lighter to fit my eating plan. I’ll add in the calories and macros at the bottom!

It’s important to note that sometimes I make regular chocolate chip cookies. Remember, food is not good or bad-it’s just food. I just wanted to try my hand at making something lighter and I think these turned out great!

Lighter Chocolate Chip Cookies

What you’ll need:

• 2 c All Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• ½ tsp Salt
• 5.3 oz Applesauce
• 1.3 c Swerve Sugar Replacement
•  (*I’m going to try using ½ Swerve Brown Sugar next time)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• ½ c 60% Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions:

-Mix the first 3 ingredients together and set aside.

-Mix Applesauce & sugar together, then add eggs and vanilla and mix.

-Stir in chocolate chips

-Place in frig for about 30 minutes to firm up. The dough is really sticky!

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

-Take cookie dough out of frig and form in 28 balls and place on a greased cookie sheet and slightly mash them down to form more of a cookie shape.

-Bake for about 11-16 minutes till done, but don’t over bake.

Enjoy!
