Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and applesauce until well combined.
- 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- 6
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
- 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- 8
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
- 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).
- 10
Enjoy your warm, gooey, and utterly delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies!
Pro Tips
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
