Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened (see notes)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips dairy free

Instructions

  • Whisk together the all purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together until combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegan butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and beat to combine.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Use a mini cookie scoop or spoons to spoon the batter onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10 - 13 minutes, until the edges are set. Right around 12 minutes is usually perfect for me. You do not want to over bake them. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

I like to use Earth Balance brand vegan butter. The butter should be softened but still solid.
