Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups rolled (old-fashioned) oats 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1/2 cup Apple Sauce 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 large egg whites1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon imitation vanilla extract 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Set 2 racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, and pecans together with a whisk or fork.

In a large bowl, beat the butter (or applesauce), brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 30 seconds until blended. Beat in the egg until smooth and barely fluffy. With mixer running on medium high, drizzle in the maple syrup, and vanilla until incorporated. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the flour-oatmeal mixture. Blend just to combine, then mix in the chocolate chips.

Drop walnut-sized balls of dough onto a nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheet at 3-inch intervals. With moistened fingers, flatten and round out the cookies a little. Bake for 9 minutes, turning the pan once for even baking. The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on top. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.

    They taste like chewy granola cookies! I Made them bite-sized, and substituted honey instead of maple syrup. - 1/25/09
