How to make chewy chocolate chip cookies with applesauce

These cookies barely take 10 minutes to throw together and couldn’t be any easier.

First, combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and whisk until combined.

In another bowl, beat the brown sugar, white sugar, applesauce, softened butter, and vanilla extract.

The applesauce is key here for the fluffiness in the cookies!

Add eggs and beat well.

Add the dry ingredients and beat until well combined.

Stir or mix in chocolate chips.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake 10-13 minutes and enjoy!

I also tried freezing this dough raw and making individual cookies whenever I wanted one.

These are great to have on hand in the freezer for a quick treat!

I love freezing extra cookie dough whenever I make chocolate chip cookies.

Trust me, your future self will thank you!
