I wanted to make some butter cookies that were on the healthier side. These cookies are softer and chewier compared to a traditional crispier butter cookie.

Equipment
- 2 inch cookies cutters
- KitchenAid standing mixer

Notes -
- Substituted butter for unsweetened apple sauce
- Substituted all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour
- Substituted white sugar with Truvia

Yields - a soft, chewier, denser cookie
