Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil, solid but softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Dairy-free candy pieces
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce to the mixture. Beat until incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the dairy-free candy pieces using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
