Ingredients:

• 1 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup of Stevia or another calorie-free sweetener
• 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows
• 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, Stevia (or sweetener of your choice), egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
4. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Add the Chocolate and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Form the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press the tops of the cookies to flatten them slightly.
7. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look dry. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
