Ingredients
- 1 cup raw brown sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 6 tablespoons dairy-free milk (soy, rice or almond)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups vegan chocolate chips
Directions
- Beat the sugar, oil, milk, applesauce and vanilla together until everything is smooth and combined.
- In another bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the first bowl, until it’s all mixed.
- Fold in chocolate chips and pop the entire bowl of dough into the fridge for about an hour.
- Once it’s chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your baking sheets, to make about 30 to 36 cookies.
- Back for only about 10 minutes (careful to not over-bake these). Cool on a wire rack and they’re ready to eat.
