Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegan butter.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cookie bars cool in the baking pan for at least 15 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift them out onto a cutting board.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your vegan chocolate chip cookie bars!
