Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour and cocoa. Mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the sugar, applesauce, oil, vanilla, and egg.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until smooth for about 1 minute.
Add the flour mixture to the large bowl and stir until fully combined.
Using a level tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls.
Arrange 12 dough balls on each baking sheet.
Bake the cookies at 350°F until set for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
