Directions:In a large bowl, add the coconut oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla, and mix well. Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms. Lastly, mix in chocolate gems until well incorporated.
Set the dough into the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours. Since we are using melted coconut oil, the cookies on their own (unchilled) will be flat and may overspread.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Keep in mind that this recipe makes 3 dozen so you will need to bake multiple batches. Using a tablespoon-sized scooper, drop mounds of dough onto the baking sheet 2 inches apart (we fit 12 on each sheet and baked these in 3 batches). No need to press them down.
Place into the oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges brown. The cookies will seem soft but don’t worry, they will firm up while they cool. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 1 minute after removing them from the oven and then carefully transfer them onto a cooling rack using a spatula. Cool completely. |
