Ingredients:
  • 80g light brown sugar - 1/2 cup minus 2 tablespoons
  • 60g dark brown sugar - 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon
  • 60g maple syrup - 1/4 cup
  • 120g vegan butter or coconut oil - 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon
  • 30g applesauce - 1 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g all-purpose flour - 1 and 1/2 cups minus 1 tablespoon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 package of chocolate chips, broken into pieces
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius on the turbo setting.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, and softened vegan butter.
  3. Add maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until a uniform dough forms.
  5. Add the broken chocolate pieces and mix.
  6. Using a small ice cream scoop, arrange round cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with generous spacing. The cookies will spread on their own, so there's no need to press them down before baking.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
