Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
• 3 tbsp. Just Egg, at room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips

First, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix together the applesauce, brown sugar and cane sugar, for about a minute, until well combined.  Mix in the Just Egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the applesauce mixture, a little bit at a time, until it is all incorporated.  Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go.

Mix in the oats and stir to combine.

Carefully stir in the chocolate chips and transfer the mixture to a smaller bowl.  Tightly cover and put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheet.

Pop them in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are set.  Pull them out and allow to rest on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
