- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, unsweetened applesauce, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on them.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Weight Watchers Points:
The Points value for these cookies will depend on the specific ingredients and serving size you use. Here are some guidelines to help you calculate the Points:
- For reduced Points, consider using a sugar substitute like Stevia or Erythritol instead of granulated sugar.
- Adjust the Points based on the number of cookies you make and your portion size.
- You can also adjust the Points by using a lower-fat butter substitute if desired.
