White Chip Chocolate Cookies - Dairy and Egg Free
These cookies are an adaptation from the Nestle Toll-House recipe for "Premier White Chip Chocolate Cookies." They are moist and delicious. Be sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup rather than scoop the flour, otherwise the cookies can come out a bit more crumbly.

- 2/3 cup cocoa powder

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup applesauce*
- 1-2 cups Nestle Simply Delicious white chocolate chips
