Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth and well-blended.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the applesauce mixture, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until a thick but sticky dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as this will make the cookies dry.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
