Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup Vegetable oil I used sunflower
¾ cup Dark brown sugar
½ cup Granulated sugar
⅓ cup Apple sauce unsweetened
1 tsp Vanilla extract
½ tsp Cinnamon optional, but recommended
2+½ cups All-purpose flour or GF flour blend
1 tsp Baking soda
½ tsp Salt
1 +½ cups Dark chocolate chips

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine oil, sugars, apple sauce, and vanilla. Use a hand mixer to beat together on low speed for 2 minutes until well emulsified.
Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until completely incorporated. The mixture should be very thick but still soft. If too stiff, add 1-2 Tablespoons of non-dairy milk.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
Preheat oven to 375°F/190C. Line baking sheets with parchment.
Scoop 2 Tbsp amounts of dough. Roll into balls and place 2-3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
If you want pillowy, soft cookies, don't flatten them. If you want chewy, thinner ones, flatten them with a small glass, at most 1 inch thick.
Bake for 8-12 minutes until just barely golden brown around the edges. I need 12 minutes in my non-fan oven to get them perfect.
Remove from the oven and cool them on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cookies will puff up more in the oven and collapse slightly as they cool.

Notes

Add 1-2 tbsp/15-30ml non-dairy milk or water to thin the consistency if it is too stiff. Reasons for that could be that you use homemade apple sauce or the measurements are off.
