Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Vegan candy-coated chocolate pieces
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and applesauce until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and a dough forms.
Gently fold in the vegan candy-coated chocolate pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your vegan candy pieces cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
