¼cupor ½ stick Buttersoftened or microwave for 20 seconds
97.5gramsor ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour(I used atta/chapati flour)
94.5gramsor ¾ cup Quinoa Flour
½teaspoonBaking Powder
⅛teaspoonBaking Soda
⅛teaspoonSalt
75gramsor ⅜ cups firmly packed Brown Sugar
¼cupNutella
⅓cupApple Sauce
1teaspoonVanilla Extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray and keep aside.
In a bowl, mix together the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Take another large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar until creamy.
Add Nutella, applesauce and vanilla extract and beat well.
Add flour mixture and beat until the flour is just incorporated.
Using a table spoon or an ice cream scoop, scoop out dough and place it on the cookie sheet. If using an ice-cream scoop, take about ½ a scoop per cookie. Check notes.
Dampen fingers and lightly shape and flatten the cookies.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until cookies are set. I baked for 15 minutes.
Cool the cookies completely on the cookie sheet and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Size of the cookies - The cookies in the picture are slightly bigger than the actually size of cookies. For the first 4 cookies I used ¾ of a scoop and for the rest I used ½ a scoop. Smaller cookies looked more appetizing than the bigger ones. I would say ½ a scoop would yield 16 cookies and using ¾ of scoop per cookie would yield about 10 cookies.
Temperatures - Temperature of ovens vary from oven to oven. Check cookies after 10 minutes and continue to bake if needed.
