Preheat the oven to 350F.
Mix all the dry ingredients, except the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
In a microwavable bowl melt the butter and coconut oil. (Or just coconut oil for the vegan option)
Mix oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Then add the milk of choice, maple syrup, and applesauce. Mix well.
Add the chopped chocolate last, so it doesn't melt. Scoop onto cookie sheets with parchment paper. (I used the big cookie scoop. If you want more cookies, use the smaller scoop)
Bake for 9-10 minutes depending on how well you want them done. DO NOT go over 10 or they'll get too dry!!
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
