Matt created these cookies one weekend when I was sick. They are absolutely delicious — healthy but not TOO healthy :)
Matt’s Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies
(makes about 2 dozen cookies)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Dash or 3 of cinnamon
- 1 & 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (not regular WW flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup dark chocolate pieces
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, applesauce, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the oats and dark chocolate pieces. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto cooking sprayed or nonstick baking sheets.
- Bake 15 minutes; allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy
