Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Rating
These are the best, soft and chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies! Lightly sweetened with only 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (in place of butter) in the entire batch!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, no packed
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, or butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips, sugar-free such as Lily's (3 oz total)
- sea salt, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend.
- In another bowl, whisk the sugars, oil, egg, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level tablespoons about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with sea salt if using, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
