Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup vegan butter or coconut oil, softened to room temperature but still slightly chilled
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/3 cup cake flour* (see notes for GF option)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup chocolate chip
- 1/2 cup vegan sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the vegan butter and coconut sugar until the coconut sugar begins to dissolve into the butter.
- Add in the applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and cream again until it forms almost a paste.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and use a rubber spatula to gently fold the flour into the wet mixture, mixing it until it forms a very soft dough and the flour is just mixed into the wet.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop, and scoop about 1.5 tbsp of dough into a ball. Roll between your palms and place onto the prepared baking sheet, separating each cookie about 2.5″ apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and look lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cookie cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*Cake flour: if you don’t have cake flour, you can also use all-purpose flour, and sift in 1 tsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch. If you need gluten-free flour, you can use oat flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour, along with 1 tsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch.
