Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 cups Vegan 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 bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and applesauce to the sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cookies tougher.
Step 6
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve once cooled, and enjoy your delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies!
