- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute (like Stevia or monk fruit)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar substitute (like Swerve or Truvia)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Portion and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
- Sweeteners: Choose sugar substitutes that are suitable for baking and are approved by your preferred weight loss program. Adjust the quantities based on the sweetness level you desire.
- Portion Control: Ensure that you portion the dough into evenly sized cookies to help manage the SmartPoints value.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
