Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick, even dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a slightly flattened cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your big, soft chocolate cookies as a light and satisfying treat!
