Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the applesauce mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Add cocoa powder to one half of the dough and mix until the cocoa is completely integrated, creating a chocolate dough.
Take a small piece from the vanilla dough and a small piece from the chocolate dough. Press them together to form a ball, about the size of a walnut.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to help create the striped pattern as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
