Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking.

2

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

3

Combine Dry Ingredients

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

4

Mix Wet Ingredients

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

5

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Adding Mix-ins

6

Fold in Add-ins

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking

7

Scoop Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

8

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops look set.

9

Cool

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.
