  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and achieve that perfect softness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter Creates a rich, creamy texture without dairy.
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar Adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce Keeps cookies moist while providing natural sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic touch that complements the chocolate.
Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate Intensifies the chocolate flavor and adds delightful chunks.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate, reserving 1 tablespoon of each for topping.
  7. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes.
  8. Scoop and roll the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each.
  9. Arrange the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Add the reserved chocolate chips and chopped chocolate on top of each cookie ball.
  11. Bake for 12-14 minutes until cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  12. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate. Make sure to chill the dough to enhance flavor and help with shaping. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to five days.
