Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten free all purpose flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together with a spatula just until no dry streaks of flour remain.
  5. Fold in the dairy free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Scoop heaping tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look just set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

- For best texture, use a gluten free all purpose blend that contains xanthan gum.
- If the dough seems very soft, let it rest for 5 minutes before scooping so the flour can hydrate and the cookies hold their shape.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
