Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is an attempt to create a cookie that stays soft without the weird flavors store brand soft batch cookies have. I tried to combine the chewiest factors of oatmeal cookies and chocolate chip.

This is a combination of the Toll House and Quaker Oats cookie recipe. Then just a couple substitutions to make it more flexible,

Note: This recipe is vegan.

Ingredients

1.5c chocolate chips
1c flour
2c quick oats (old-fashioned will work)
0.5c white sugar
1c brown sugar
1t baking soda
0.5t salt
1t vanilla
0.5c apple sauce¹
1c oil²

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
In a measuring cup combine the liquid ingredients.
Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Drop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 min.

The oil and applesauce are a primary knob on this recipe. Keep the total amount of liquid at 1.5 cups. As the amount of applesauce increases the cookies spread less and acquire more of a cake like consistency. More oil causes the cookies to spread more so that they get a thinner crispier consistency.↩︎
