Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, ensuring that there are no dry patches. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Easy Eggless Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a more uniform dough and ensures better mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Use parchment paper: This prevents sticking and ensures even baking of your cookies.
- Measure ingredients precisely: Baking is a science, so use exact measurements for the best results.
- Allow cookies to cool: Let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to maintain their shape.
- Store properly: Keep cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- Experiment with mix-ins: Try adding nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate chips to customize your cookies.
- Check your oven temperature: Every oven is slightly different, so keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overcooking.
