Servings: 15 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For more more intense chocolate flavor, add 3 more tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, otherwise they will be more like milk chocolate flavor as is. (can also add 1-2 teaspoons espresso powder.)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 teaspoons pure chocolate or vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour or gluten free flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips or chunks + some for top of cookies Add more if you wish, these cookies are chocolatey.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line cookie sheet (s) with parchment paper.
- Using a mixer, cream butter until light and creamy for 2 minutes.
- Add in sugar and continuing creaming for 1-2 more minutes. Add in applesauce, mixing until fully incorporated into batter. Mix in cocoa powder until combined. Add in vanilla extract and mix.
- Stir in flour, baking powder and salt and beat together just until a chocolate dough starts to form. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking pan using a tablespoon (small scoop) or 1 1/2 tablespoon (medium scoop) depending on size you wish to have. Leave room for the cookies to spread slightly. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Gooier for 8 minutes. Cookies should be starting to firm up but still soft in the middle. Bake longer if you want more done cookies and if larger as well.
- Let cookies set on cookie tray for a couple of minutes before removing them to cool completely on a wire rack.
