Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth.

Combine and Bake

  1. 4

    Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Add Chocolate Chunks

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

  3. 6

    Scoop and Bake

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

  4. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
