Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter (natural or classic)
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups 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 small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until smooth.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened applesauce, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will still be soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
