Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined.

If desired, fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them at least two inches apart.

Flatten the tops of the dough mounds slightly with damp fingers or a spoon.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is slightly firm.

Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Once cooled, enjoy your No Sugar Applesauce Cookies!
