Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

A soft, moist, chewy chocolate chip cookie, this cookie recipe is everything you want a cookie to be!

Recipe

Ingredients

2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cane sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar  
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup apple sauce*
1/2 cup coconut oil**
1/2 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips***

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt, mix until well combined. 
3. In a smaller bowl beat the coconut oil, banana, vanilla, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Stir the two mixtures together until well combined and then add the vegan chocolate chips.
5. Roll cookie dough into 2 inch sized balls and place onto an un-greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.  Enjoy!

Notes

*A large, mashed banana works great too, but since banana sizes vary, you might need to add a bit more or add a little applesauce if the dough is too dry just before adding in the chocolate chips.  And remember, a little goes a long way, so add it in bit by bit!
**I use coconut oil, and both regular and vegan butter-flavored both work great! You can also use vegan butter instead if you'd like. 
***I use Enjoy Life, any of their sizes work...but feel free to use your favorite vegan chocolates!
