Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat together the solid coconut oil and brown sugar until well combined and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce, stirring until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-dipped cookies back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate set completely before serving.
