Double chocolate, Apple and Banana Cookies




These cookies are so moist and delicious that you would think they are made with tons of butter. The bananas and apple sauce allow for less fat without compromising the texture. Go ahead and try them, you won't regret it!

Ingredients

1 banana, mashed
185 ml unsweetened apple sauce
180 ml sugar (3/4 cup)
62.5 ml (1/4 cup) margarine, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
500 ml  (2 cups) all purpose flour
130 ml cocoa powder
5 ml baking soda
1 ml salt
125 ml semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together banana, apple sauce, sugar and margarine. Add egg and vanilla.
2. In another bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.
3. Add chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of water if dough is too stiff.
4. Add a heaping tablespoon of batter on a greased cookie sheet and bake on top rack for 12-14 minutes. Gives about 24 cookies.
