Chocolate chip cookies

This recipe is moderately low calorie, but full of healthy ingredients. I'm adding some substitute ingredients at the end, so if your pantry isn't stocked the same as mine you can still make this recipe. 

1/2 cup agave nectar

1/4 cup sucanat

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 scoop protein powder (optional)

2 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375.

Mix together sucanat, agave nectar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and egg. In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, & salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix well. Add chocolate chips & blend to batter. Form into cookies & bake for 6 minutes.

If you don't have:                                        Use:     

Whole wheat pastry flour                             1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/2 all purpose flour

Agave nectar or sucanat                              Maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar

Applesauce                                                 Olive oil

These are very moist. There is just the tiniest hint of fruitiness from the applesauce, but not enough to taste it as applesauce. The agave & sucanat give it a slightly different flavor - like a warm undertone of maple or brown sugar. It's also much more filling than a regular chocolate chip cookie (the protein powder and whole wheat flour are to thank for that). 

Can't believe I made it all the way to 18 days into the year before eating cookies.  Wow.
