Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Vegan chocolate chips
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, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, applesauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 5
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough (a cookie scoop works well) and place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies appear set but still soft in the center. Do not overbake.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy these deceptively delicious vegan chocolate cookies with a glass of almond milk, or share with friends and family for a delightful treat!
