Low Fat Choc Chip Cookie Sticks
Chewy chocolate chip cookies with the perfect hint of crunch so addictive, it's hard to believe they are low in fat.
Servings: 45 cookie sticks
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup light butter or margarine of choice softened
- 2 tablespoons apple sauce
- 1 cup light brown sugar or brown sugar substitute packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temp
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour or plain/all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C | 375F. Line a 10-inch x 15-inch baking/cookie tray with baking/parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, apple sauce, sugar and vanilla, and whisk until light and creamy. Add the egg and whisk again until combined.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the batter and mix until combined well. Evenly spoon batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into a rectangle 1-inch from the edges of the pan, and sprinkle with chocolate chips; pressing them lightly into the cookie dough.
- Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until a nice golden colour on the top and the edges are a nice brown colour. (They will be soft when taken out, but will firm up as they cool). Cool for about 10-20 minutes. Once cooled, slice cookies into 1/2-inch strips; gently remove them with a spatula, and place them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
