Equipment
- 2 Tablespoon Cookie scoop
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened) (226 grams)
- 1¼ cups packed dark brown sugar (250 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (62.50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (315 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1½ cups chocolate chips or chocolate morsels 1½ cups (240 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)1¼ cups packed dark brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Mix in ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 tablespoon milk, and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 60 minutes. This helps hydrate the flour and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.
