# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
02 -
Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine.
03 -
Add the applesauce and coconut sugar to a larger bowl and beat on high with a mixer until light and creamy, 3-5 minutes.
04 -
Add the brown rice syrup and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until thoroughly mixed, 1-2 minutes.
05 -
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the dry ingredients, mixing until the dough is just combined. Refrigerate dough for 10 minutes before placing on cookie sheets.
06 -
Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips and dried fruit.
07 -
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. You can leave them as they are or flatten them slightly, noting that they will not spread while baking.
08 -
Bake until the edges are golden, 11-13 minutes.
09 -
Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 2 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
