How to Make Homestyle Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add 2 cups vegan chocolate chips and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Flatten the cookies slightly with a fork.
  8. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Note: If the batter seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk or water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.)
