Healthy Candy Cane Cookie Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: You can make the batter ahead of time and chill it in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also scoop the cookie dough into balls, place on a baking sheet and freeze. Once completely frozen move to a freezer bag or container and store for up to a month in the freezer. Bake as directed – baking just 1 cookie or the entire batch still requires the same heat and time.
Storage– Store in the fridge for 5 days or the freezer for 1 month.

Equipment

2 Bowls
Whisk or Fork
Baking Sheet
Parchment paper

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (or Gluten Free Flour)
⅔ cup Zero Calorie All-Natural Brown Sugar (or regular brown sugar)
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons water
1 large candy cane (or 3 mini)
⅓ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl combine the apple sauce, vanilla extract and water. Whisk together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined.
Add the candy cane to a bag, and use a rolling pin to mash it into small pieces.
Add 1/2 of the chocolate chips and fold into the batter, along with the candy cane pieces.
Scoop out 16 cookie balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Wet your hands a little and then press the cookies down a bit to form cookie rounds.
Top with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet (they will continue to cook on the sheet while they cool.)
