Now I wouldn’t recommend you go ahead and eat a stack of cookies in one sitting, BUT if you are going to indulge (and we all do) these cookies are not so bad. I’ve made some healthy substitutions by skipping the butter and using apple sauce (zero saturated fat); I also downgraded the brown sugar by 1/4 cup, and the white sugar by 1/2.  Unsweetened Coconut is also a great way to add flavour and texture without extensive added sugar or fat. You could also use raisins instead of the semi-sweet chips, but that entirely up to you.

| Recipe |

1 cup of apple sauce

3/4 cup of brown sugar 

1/2 cup of white sugar (Splenda also works here)

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt 

1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut 

Beat together apple sauce and sugars, then mix in eggs, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and slowly add to wet mixture. Add chocolate chips, and coconut. 

Drop combined ingredients by the tablespoon onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake on 375 for 10 minutes.
