Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract, applesauce, and non-dairy milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as it can affect the texture of the cake.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Be careful not to overbake as the cookie cake will continue to firm up as it cools.
Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
