# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They are surprisingly chewy without any eggs or dairy, thanks to the coconut oil and applesauce magic
  • The combination of three different dried fruits means every bite feels like a treasure hunt
02 -
  • Coconut oil melts fast, so work quickly when mixing and if your dough gets too warm, chill it for 15 minutes before baking
  • Overbaking is the enemy of chewy vegan cookies, pull them out when edges are golden even if centers still look slightly soft
03 -
  • Room temperature coconut oil blends much easier than cold, but let it cool slightly so it does not cook your applesauce
  • Use a cookie scoop instead of spoons for uniform cookies that bake evenly, nobody likes the small burnt one
