Ingredients

2/3 cup canola oil

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Stir together the oil, sugar, syrup, applesauce and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl.

Add in flour, baking soda, and salt (no need to sift!). Stir in chocolate chips. If the chips don’t want to stick to the batter, use your hands! If the dough is a little dry, gradually add a small amount of soy milk, maybe a couple teaspoons, until it holds together.

Drop by large spoonfuls, 3-4 tablespoons each, onto a cookie sheet and slightly flatten. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
