Instructions
1
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
3
Then, add in applesauce and vanilla. Stir to combine.
4
Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
5
Fold in chocolate chunks.
6
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Space at least 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
7
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are barely golden along the edges. They will look soft and gooey in the middle.
8
Lastly, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Butter for Texture 🧈Cut cold butter into small cubes and keep it chilled until mixing to create pockets of melted chocolate and prevent overly dense cookies.
- Use Applesauce at Room Temperature 🍎Let your applesauce sit out for 15 minutes before mixing to ensure even distribution and better moisture absorption throughout the dough.
- Toast Your Chocolate Chunks 🍫Lightly toast your chocolate chunks in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to dough to intensify their flavor and create deeper, richer pools of melted chocolate.
- Don't Overmix After Dry Ingredients 🥄Mix dry ingredients just until combined to avoid developing gluten, which keeps cookies soft and tender rather than cake-like.
- Pull Cookies from Oven Slightly Underbaked ⏱️Remove cookies when edges are set but centers still look slightly soft—they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, resulting in that signature gooey texture.
