Description

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup), room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup cinnamon applesauce
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup good quality milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup good quality semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375F
• Line a baking sheet with a precut Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheet. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream together the room temperature butter with the sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
• Pour in the applesauce and continue to beat until fully mixed.
• Add in the baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of the flour. Place the mixer on a lower setting and beat until combined. Add in the remaining cup flour and beat until just mixed. You dont want to over mix the dough.
• Use a spoon or spatula to mix in the chocolate chips.
• Use a small ice cream scoop (mine was a 1 scoop) to drop the cookies onto the baking sheet, about 1-2 inches apart.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are just golden brown and cooked through. (be sure not to over cook!)
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• **blogger tip: to make the cookies picture perfect, add a few extra chocolate chips to the top right after removing from the oven. pretty!
