These floating chocolate chip applesauce cookies are the same cookies my grandma would make us when we were kids.

Every year when we would come to visit, she would load up her McCoy green jug cookie jar so we always knew where to find them. She didn’t call them floating, but that is the best way I know how to describe their texture and how you feel when you eat them. They are moist, spongy and chocolatey without being too rich. It was always a fight to the death for the last one!

Floating Chocolate Chip Applesauce Cookies – Jaimie Listens: Soft and spongy chocolate chip cookies that everyone fights over! They are a hybrid of chocolate chip banana bread and regular chocolate chip cookies. The perfect cookie if you like them to be soft and stay soft without being undercooked. Grandma always had these cookies ready for us when we would come to visit.

This recipe is has so many good memories attached! I remember looking forward to getting together with my cousins every summer to go boating on the lake. There was also this huge weeping willow on the side of the house that we would always climb and play in. One time we found a robin’s nest and got to look at the eggs close up.

Grandma would tell us stories about when Dad was a toddler and bit a dog who bit him first. Then there were the steep steps up to the attic that Grandpa built when the kids were young, so they could have their own little bedrooms. It was like a playhouse up there, kind of like those secret rooms that you see in the movies. We usually got to sleep up there when we stayed and we could stay up late with our cousins and tell scary stories.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 C Shortening
  • 1 C Sugar
  • ¾ C Brown Sugar Packed and leveled
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 TBSP Milk
  • 2 C Applesauce

Dry Ingredients:

  • 5 C All-purpose flour Gently packed and leveled
  • 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 ½ tsp Cloves
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking soda

Additional Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces Package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Measure flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and the baking soda into a separate bowl. Mix well until incorporated. Cream together shortening, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk and applesauce and mix with a hand mixer until incorporated. Stir vanilla into wet mixture last. Add flour to wet mix and stir until evenly moistened. Do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  2. Place 1 to 2 TBSP of cookie dough on a baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-17 minutes.

  3. Cook times vary with ovens, so you want to watch for browning on the pokey corners of the cookies. These cookies stay fatter and puffier than regular chocolate chip cookies, so they won’t look all the way done. The bottoms should be light golden brown when done.

  4. After cooling, store in an air-tight container. Makes about 3 dozen cookies!

I am sharing one of my Grandma’s VERY BEST recipes so you can have a little of that “something special” at your home too. I hope you love them and enjoy them! Add your own special memories to these cookies and pass them along!
