Ingredients

½ cup - cold unsalted butter
¼ cup - granulated sugar
½ cup - light brown sugar
¼ cup - unsweetened applesauce
½ tsp - vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups - flour
½ tsp - baking soda
1 pinch - sea salt
1 cup - chocolate chunks

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
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.
Then, add in applesauce and vanilla. Stir to combine.
Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Space at least 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are barely golden along the edges. They will look soft and gooey in the middle.
Lastly, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
