With the Christmas festivites gone and over, I’m always left with some cravings for more holiday treats.
Mmm… soft and chewy, these cookies are the perfect fix for any post-holiday dessert or snack. 8D
You will need:
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp pumpkin-pie spice (or cinnamon with hint of nutmeg)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chocolate chunks (or chips,)
4 tbsp applesauce
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350oF. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In separate bowl, beat the egg, adding in the applesauce and vanilla extract. Add mixture to the dry ingredients, blending well. Roll the dough into 1tbsp balls with your hands, and place in fridge to chill for half an hour. Bake for 8 minutes, and remove from heat, allowing them to harden for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or store in airtight container.
