Egg-free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe for egg-free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes about 20 cookies

Ingredients:

• 10 Tablespoons of butter 
• 1 cup of sugar 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
•  1/4 cup applesauce
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
•  1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup chocolate chips

~In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light in color. This should take around 2 minutes in a mixer, or 5 if you are doing it by hand. 
~Add the vanilla and applesauce, and mix until fully incorporated. 
~In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Make sure you do it really well, or you'll have salty spots in your cookies! 
~Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring well. 
~Once fully mixed, add the oats and the chocolate chips.

~Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) 
~Scoop into balls that are about the size of a ping-pong ball, and bake for 8 1/2 minutes. 

**The cookies will NOT look done, but let them cool on the hot tray for about 5 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack. THEY WILL BE MUSHY but...Once they are completely cooled, you will have perfectly soft cookies! ^.^ You may have to adjust the baking time according to your oven.**

  
**You can also eat as much of the cookie dough as you want (or as your parents will let you, haha) because there are no eggs in it! :D so no worries about salmonella or anything like that! ;)**
