Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Erin Parker, The Speckled Palate
Rich, decadent Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect slightly sweet dessert! These cookies, made with coconut oil and applesauce instead of the traditional butter or vegetable shortening, are light, soft and delicious!

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, applesauce and sugars until creamed together.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
Combine the dry ingredients -- flour, salt and soda -- in a smaller bowl.
Measure in half of the dry ingredients, mixing until combined, then add the other half, blending until the batter has come together.
Measure in the dark chocolate chips, and stir in with a spoon.
Chill the dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight.)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scooper, measure out 1" rounds of the cookie dough.
Evenly spread the cookie dough rounds out on the baking sheet, 2" apart.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy warm with a glass of your favorite kind of milk!
