– 1 cup of packed light brown sugar

– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

– 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

4. Add the unsweetened applesauce and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients (butter-sugar mixture) and mix until just combined; avoid over-mixing.

6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form approximately 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing for about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

8. Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy while maintaining a soft center.

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
