Applesauce adds moisture and sweetness to these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Oatmeal and Chocolate Chips Cookies

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place the sugar and butter in a large bowl and cream together. Add the applesauce, egg and vanilla and beat well to incorporate; set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add, a bit at a time, to the butter mixture, beating to combine after each addition. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Remove from the oven and allow to stand on the sheet for about a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
