  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Half tsp baking powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • This is the basic thing to use in your cookies because you will prepare butter cookies. This butter is lighter than the regular butter we normally use. You will use this so your dessert does not get too heavy to eat. If you need a substitution, add reduced-fat margarine.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

  • Since we are using light butter to make our cookies, we will also add unsweetened applesauce for moisture. This ingredient will make your cookies softer as well. You can mash a banana and add that to your cookie batter for a substitute as well.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Adding this ingredient to your cookies will make their flavor sweeter. You can eliminate vanilla extract from your recipe if you prefer.

GRANULATED SUGAR SUBSTITUTE:

  • You need to select a granular sugar substitute that works fine in your baking recipes. Here, we will not add sugar, so your dessert will not be heavy to eat. Add normal sugar if you need another idea, but notice the change in points.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • We will add all-purpose flour to make the shape of our butter cookies. You can replace half of this flour with whole wheat flour for another option.

BAKING POWDER:

  • This is an important item for your cookie recipe, which will make them rise. Also, you will notice that your cookies are getting softer from adding this ingredient.

SALT:

  • Salt will eliminate the extra-sweet flavor in your cookies. Also, it will boost the taste of your dessert too.
