Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Cookie

I love cookies for breakfast, so I decided to make a low fat, whole wheat breakfast cookie! They are  a little more bread-like in consistency than a normal cookie, and not quite as sweet (think cookie meets muffin!). They go perfectly with coffee and are a great way to start the day!

You will need:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Mix butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. 

3. Add all dry ingredients except white sugar and cinnamon. 

4. In a separate bowl, combine white sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into balls, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

5. Place on cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass (otherwise they get really puffy!). Bake for 8-10 minutes.
