Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and applesauce until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips gently using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Evenly spread the cookie dough in a well-greased 8 to 9-inch oven-safe skillet, smoothing out the top with the back of the spoon.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
Allow the cookie to cool in the skillet for a few minutes before serving to let it firm up slightly.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vegan ice cream on top.
