Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

I've been searching for a good relatively healthy, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe forever and I think I've finally gotten the right combination to work!

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce [butter substitute]
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar (splenda)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cup oats
1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips



















Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix applesauce, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs. Mix in vanilla.
   
3. In separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into creamed mixture.
4. Mix in oats and chocolate chips.
5. Place spoonfuls onto un-greased baking sheet. These do not flatten out while cooking so shape them accordingly.
6. Cook for about 10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
