Introduction
These cookies have half the amount of butter of normal chocolate chip cookies and no eggs. This recipe was created partially by accident when I was experimenting using applesauce as a substitute for butter. I was halfway through the recipe when I found I had no eggs. Instead of getting some I used applesauce instead of the egg as well.They almost have the consistency of oatmeal cookies. The mini chocolate chips ensure there is a great chocolatey taste with less of the guilt. Enjoy! These cookies have half the amount of butter of normal chocolate chip cookies and no eggs.

I used a full cup of chips but it could easily be done with 3/4 or even 1/2 cup.
It's a very versatile base. You could add nuts or anything else to add variety.
