These boneless chocolate chip cookies are eggless, budget-friendly and simple to make. Instead of mixing chocolate chips into the dough, I press chunks of chopped chocolate bars on top so every bite has gooey, melty goodness and a chocolaty taste. Using a chocolate bar and swapping in applesauce instead of eggs gives you more bang for your bite! —Hetal Vasavada, San Francisco, California
