I've heard of baking with applesauce for a healthier version, but I've never tried it because it didn't sound too good to me. While reading the Sunny Side Up blog one day she was describing her chocolate chip cookies and how she made them for friends around the holidays and wanted to eat them all herself. I had all of the ingredients on hand and decided to give them a try. They turned out much better than expected. In fact, I think they are my second favorite cookie behind Aunt Suzy's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
Ingredients:
1 cup Crisco
2 cups sugar
2 cups applesauce
4 eggs
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pkg chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the sugar and Crisco. Add eggs.
3. Stir the applesauce and baking soda together and add to Crisco mixture.
4. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and bake for 15 minutes.
yield: about 60 cookies
