Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies
These applesauce chocolate chip cookies are gooey, buttery and so delicious! They are completely egg free. The applesauce provides a nice natural sweetness to these cookies. The chocolate chunks add so much melted chocolate!
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
Then, add in applesauce and vanilla. Stir to combine.
Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Space at least 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are barely golden along the edges. They will look soft and gooey in the middle.
Lastly, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
These cookies are pretty large and spread significantly.
Use cold butter from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used. I do not recommend another flour.
Chocolate chunks create pools of melted chocolate. Feel free to use regular chocolate chips if desired.
These cookies will look gooey in the middle. Allow them to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 1 month.
