Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are by far the most popular cookies in the world. We know, you know, we all know. But when it comes to cookie consistency, opinions differ ...
Here in the office, we are team "soft cookies". But baking fantastically soft cookies that don't get hard even after several hours isn't easy. Luckily, we have the perfect recipe lying around in our drawer that we want to share with you today. It's simple and perfect if you only have little time on hand.
It couldn't be easier: Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, fold in the chocolate drops, and you're ready to shape your cookies. Make sure to use bake-stable chocolate drops, so they don't run during baking.
Now it's time to wait. When you take the cookies out of the oven after 12 minutes, they should still be very soft. For the perfect shape, you can now press them lightly with a spatula.
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes after baking before removing them from the baking tray, so they don't break. Or try what our student trainee Anni likes to do: Grab a fork and eat them right off the tray. The cookies taste especially good when fresh out of the oven.

Combine flour, sugar, vegan butter, salt, vanilla sugar, baking powder and applesauce in a large bowl. Then, fold in the chocolate drops.
Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F (convection heat). Divide the dough into 18 pieces of 40 g (1.5 oz) and form small balls. Next, place nine balls each on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, with some space in between.
Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, they should still be very soft. If desired, flatten slightly using a spatula. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before removing them from the baking tray.
