Preheat oven to 350 F.
Core 1 apple (Gala is best), and blend with skin in a blender until you have a puree. 1 apples will produce about ¼ cup.
Warm butter in microwave for 10 seconds.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Make chocolate chip cookie dough
In amixing bowl, add the warmed butter, both sugars, apple puree and vanilla and mix with a hand-mixer for about 2 minutes so the sugars dissolve.
⅓ cup (75g) butter, 3 tablespoon organic cane sugar, ⅓ cup (73g) light brown sugar, ¼ cup apple puree*, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in chips.
1 ⅓ cup (128g) almond flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ½ cup large or regular-sized chocolate chips, pinch salt
Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop onto the pan. NO chilling. Add 2-4 chips on top of each scoop of batter.
Bake
Bake the cookies for 17-20 minutes or until edges are brown. Add more chips to the warm cookies as soon as you pull them out of the oven.
Cool for 10 minutes in pan.

Notes
*Blend up a cored apple to create the apple puree that replaces eggs in this recipe. Two smallish Gala apples produce ½ cup apple puree, the amount needed for these brookies. Or you can use 2 eggs if you don't need this recipe to be vegan and egg-free.
