Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Add the egg whites to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft chocolaty cookies! Store extras in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
