Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
6 ounces miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray a Teflon coated cookie sheet lightly with canola oil. In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar and brown sugar. Add egg and mix well. Add yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix well and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Add chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough until well chilled. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons dough per cookie and place 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Bake in oven for eight to ten minutes until cookies begin to turn golden on the edges. Let cool before removing from pan.

Note: For crispier cookies, freeze dough for at least two hours before baking.
