- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar or dark ~ I used light.
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk or a non-dairy type ~ I used soy milk.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or a gluten-free baking blend. Remember - always stir flour before measuring.
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch corn-free diets substitute with potato starch
- 2 Tbsp chopped nuts I used walnuts. (omit for nut allergies)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips. I used an allergy-friendly chocolate chip.
- peanut butter maple butter other nut butter for optional topping
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, a non-stick spray or silicone sheets. These tend to stick a bit.
In a mixing bowl combine the first four ingredients. Mix well.
In a small bowl add all the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
Add dry mixture to the applesauce mixture. Stir just to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
**Note ~ When using gluten-free flours some may result in a dough that is too "runny" so add 2-3 tablespoons more flour. More than that may alter the recipe.
Using a small or medium-size cookie scoop, drop batter onto prepared baking pans.
Bake for 13-14 minutes, oven times may vary. If you decide to make smaller cookies, bake for about 10 minutes.
If they overcook I feel they become too firm. Let cookies sit a minute or two and move to a wire rack...or eat a few!
