Equipment

Hand Whisk

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium sized bowl. Whisk them together.
In another bowl combine the butter and sugar until they are mixed well.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the butter and stir it in until combined.
Mix the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients.
Pour in the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter.
Scoop the cookies by the 1.5 TBS and roll them into balls, and place them onto a cookie sheet a couple inches apart.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden. **

Notes

**The cookies stay thick unless you smack the pan down to help them to flatten. Remove the baking pan after 7 minutes and smack the pan down a few times to help the cookies fall. Put them back in the oven for the final minutes. Then smack the pan down again when you pull them from the oven.
