Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Mix in the vanilla extract and applesauce until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and a dough forms.
Step 6
Gently fold in the vegan candy-coated chocolate pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your vegan candy pieces cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
