Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies with Oatmeal.... mouthful? Yes, please.

While I was going ballistic in my kitchen trying to kill the plague of fruit flies that have bombarded my kitchen, I decided I wanted to make some cookies. In between mixing the sugars with the applesauce, the flour with the baking soda, I was putting out bowls of Apple Cider Vinegar to kill these little monsters that fly EVERYWHERE in my house for no reason. There isn't any fruit left out. No standing water. Trash is always taken out, and is clean. I am going to destroy these fruit flies if it is the end of my kitchen days! AH! ....

Cookies. Right... Cookies. The applesauce was wonderful in these cookies. They make them a little flat, and really chewy, but the taste is better than I expected. My little brother is highly impressed, but he definitely has different taste buds than I do. He also doesn't realize they are low fat ... mwahwah.

I would say the best part is the chocolate chips stay melted and gooey. I didn't burn a single batch, so they were as soft as you would ever want them, but they lacked the true "chocolate chip cookie" taste. Chocolate chip cookies are always expected to be puffy and warm ... and easier to pull apart than these are. Ha. These are very sweet, but not overpowering. I have tried a better recipe for applesauce oatmeal raisin cookies, so I will probably continue to try recipes with applesauce. Love it!

Not as pretty as they taste
