Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup extra light olive oil (OR 1 cup butter of your choice OR 1/2 cup butter of your choice and 6 tablespoons extra light olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour (I used Bob's Red Mill) (OR 2 cups all-purpose flour)
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips of your choice (OR 1/2-3/4 cup homemade chocolate chips)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • In a large bowl, cream together extra light olive oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, Kosher salt, vanilla extract, and applesauce.
  • Mix in flour one cup at a time.
  • Fold in chocolate chips. You can either use store-bought or my homemade chocolate chips.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown on the edges.

Notes

  • If you are using the homemade chocolate chips, I found it helpful to chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before adding the chocolate chips to the dough. I also chilled the dough while baking a batch of cookies. Also, when using the homemade chocolate chips, the cookies are definitely going to spread. So make sure you leave enough room between cookies :).
  • The volume measurement of the homemade chocolate chips is less than the packaged, because they pack in more tightly due to their shape.
  • The amount of calories per cookie is calculated using store-bought chocolate chips.
