Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love these cookies because they're a bit lighter thanks to the applesauce that replaces some butter, and they've got some fiber thanks to the whole wheat flower and oats. BUT they don't taste like it!!! You're just going to have to trust me until you try them. But if you can't take my word for it, check HERE for a second opinion. :)

**I love oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips!! (I made some of both, because the hubs likes chocolate chips better.)
