Lightened up Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband loves chocolate chip cookies, but occasionally he tries to eat healthier.  These cookies use coconut oil and applesauce instead of butter.  I also used mostly dark chocolate chips and some semi-sweet chips to lower the sugar.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

¼ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ cup coconut oil melted

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

½ cup semi sweet chips

1 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt.
3. Beat applesauce, melted coconut oil, sugars, egg, and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined.
4. Gently fold in dry mixture.
5. Mix to combine.
6. Use a small cookier scooper to form balls. Refrigerate dough 15 minutes if too soft.
7. Bake for 9 minutes. 
8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
9. Hint: Microwave for 15 seconds when eating the next day to get that just baked warm feeling.
