✅ Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup whole wheat flour (or all AP flour)

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional for holiday spice)

  • 3 tbsp light butter spread (I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter works great)

  • ½ cup sugar substitute (Splenda, Monk Fruit, or Stevia blend)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

  • Festive sugar-free sprinkles or colored sugar (optional topping)

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. Cream wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat butter spread and sugar substitute until fluffy. Mix in egg, vanilla, and applesauce.

  4. Combine: Slowly add dry ingredients into wet until dough forms.

  5. Shape: Scoop 1-tbsp portions, roll into balls, and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly.

  6. Decorate: Add sprinkles or press a sugar-free chocolate chip in the center if desired.

  7. Bake: 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden. Let cool before removing from sheet.

🔑 Notes

  • Dough will be slightly sticky — chilling for 30 minutes helps with handling.

  • Swap vanilla for almond extract for a sugar-cookie flavor.

  • Store in an airtight container up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
