Ingredients

  • Cookies:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup groundflax seed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup unrefined brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flours, cocoa powder, flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla and egg. Mix well.
  • Add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time to the Greek yogurt combination. Mix until combined, be careful not to over mix.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased nonstick baking tray.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until browned.
  • Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to col completely.
  • While cookies are cooling, prepare icing by mixing powdered sugar and milk.
  • Pour icing into heavy duty plastic bag (it will be thick) and carefully snip the small end of the bag.
  • Squeeze icing out and make 3 concentric circles.
  • Next, trace lines outside each circle to form a spider web.

Notes

These cookies freeze wonderfully, I do it all the time. Simply place in a plastic bag and freeze for up to 3-4 months, if they last that long!
