Ingredients

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2
Combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, whisking together to distribute the leavening agent evenly.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the margarine, vegetable oil, and applesauce until well blended and smooth.
4
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
5
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together gently with a spatula until a dough forms. If the dough appears too sticky, add water a small amount at a time until the consistency is workable.
6
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed throughout.
7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8
Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
