Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick oats
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Equipment Needed
- 2 baking sheets
- silpat or silicone mat
Instructions
- 1
Begin by setting your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C); prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, whisking them together thoroughly.
- 3
In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugars together on medium speed until they are well blended and creamy.
- 4
Incorporate the egg into the mixture, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- 5
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the flour mixture and oats until just incorporated, ensuring there are no visible flour streaks; then add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
- 6
Scoop generous tablespoon-sized portions (approximately 1 tablespoon each) of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, gently pressing each mound down a bit (I forgot to do this).
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven for roughly 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown.
- 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 3 to 4 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 9
Store your cookies in an airtight container to resist the temptation of devouring them all at once!
