Ingredients
1/2cupvegan buttersoftened
1/2cupgranulated sugar
1/4cupbrown sugar
1/3cupunsweetened apple sauce
1tspvanilla extract
1 1/2cupsall purpose flour
1/2tspbaking soda
1/4tspsalt
3/4cupfreeze dried raspberries
1cupdark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or mixing bowl if using a hand mixer) add the softened vegan butter, sugars, applesauce and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and airy.
Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt being careful not to overwork the dough. Fold in the chocolate chips and freeze dried raspberries.
Place the dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the cookies from overspreading makes the dough easier to scoop.
Scoop the dough onto the sheet pan, leaving a few inches in between each one. You should end up with about 9 large cookies (see notes for smaller cookies).
Bake for 14-17 minutes, until lightly golden brown and no longer doughy in the center. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
For smaller cookies (about 2 tbsp each) bake for only 8-10 minutes.
