Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Vegan butter
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.

Step 4

Add in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until a dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.

Step 9

Dip one-half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to let the chocolate set.

Step 10

Once the chocolate has set, store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
