Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies

When you're assigned a blog like Because I Like Chocolate for Secret Recipe Club, well, you better make something that contains chocolate. Mallory's blog had many good things to choose from, but I chose these cookies because I love all the ingredients! Oatmeal cookies are THE best, and when you throw in some craisins and some chocolate chips, then they're even better. This recipe also contains very little butter, so for cookies, they are relatively healthy. I love these - they turned out flat and crispy and full of flavor. Thanks, Mallory!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, applesauce and white sugar.

Cream this mixture until smooth, then add the brown sugar and eggs

and beat until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon

and mix until combined. Mix in the oats.

Stir in the chocolate chips

and craisins. (Mine are in a strainer cause I like to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them up!)

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Cool on the sheet 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
