Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (no packed)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter, melted)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (sugar-free such as Lily's) 3 oz total
- sea salt optional for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend.
- In another bowl, whisk the sugars, coconut oil, egg, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks crumbly, add just a drop of water at a time until smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level tablespoons about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, top with sea salt if using, and let stand 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
Notes
These cookies are perfect for a guilt-free snack and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
