All ingredients should be room temperature. Any cold ingredients will cause the coconut oil to clump.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the following dry ingredients together (flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon) in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar with the oil, applesauce, vanilla, and milk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar granules are incorporated a bit.
Add the wet sugar mix into the dry ingredients bowl, along with the chocolate chips, and stir until well combined.
Dollop the batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You should have 12 equal-sized cookies.
Form the cookies a bit with your hands, as they won't spread much.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden (see step 9 before doing this).
Here's the important step: Once they've been baking for 8 minutes, take them out and press down on them gently with a fork. This action removes the air that is created by the baking soda, thus compacting the cookie and making the texture better!
I like to transfer them onto a plate and into the freezer right away, which solidifies them.
