Spoon flour into measuring cup level with a knife and add to a small bowl. Add baking powder and salt; whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, mix the applesauce, brown sugar and coconut oil; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Then beat in vanilla and egg until well blended.
Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended. Then fold in chips.
Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375F degrees for 10 minutes or until almost set.
Cool for 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from pan; cool on wire racks.
Scoop about 1/8 cup ice cream into one cookie and then top it with another cookie and enjoy!
You can also roll it in sprinkles, colored sugar or any other fun toppings
Notes
Storage: When the cookies are completely cool, they can be stored in an airtight container or frozen.Variations: I like to use white chocolate chips in this recipe, but you can also use milk or dark if you prefer.
