Ingredients
- 1.25 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup applesauce
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat together with a mixer until well blended.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, beating until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are set and slightly firm at the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
