Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the vanilla extract and applesauce until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to 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 for up to 5 days.
