Notes: I didn’t have pastry flour so I used all purpose ww. I made the cookies way too big and thick. I thought they were ok. Nova didn’t.
Ingredients:
¾ cup and 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with ¼ cup water
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with ¼ cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
2 cups 70 percent cocoa (or greater) chocolate chips or chunks
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Mix the applesauce, flaxseed, and sugar together using an electric or hand mixer. Beat in the Ener-G and vanilla. Mix the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate chunks) in a separate bowl. Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Place rounded, heaping tablespoons of dough onto a sprayed or parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
