In reply to The Healthy Apple. Glad to hear that you tried it and it was a success. That gives me more hope! LOL. I may try to make half a batch of some of my favorites and play around with the substitutions. I adore cookies, just not how unhealthy they can be. Such a shame.

In reply to Heather (Where’s the Beach).

Great question as I was actually baking chocolate chip cookies today and I substituted with 2 Tbsp. prune puree, 3 Tbsp. pumpkin puree and 3 Tbsp. chunky applesauce and they came out wonderful! I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and oatmeal as well and simply created the recipe as I went along….to my surprise…they were fabulous! I’d suggest starting my substituting a bit at a time and opt for a few purees to create a tasty flavor or perhaps a flavored all – natural applesauce.

Good luck and enjoy!!! Happy Holidays!

Great tips! I love the natural sweeteners and keeping your baking as natural as possible. I always try to!

Thanks for the tips. I sure wish I had read this yesterday before I started making all my cookie dough! Just curious how much the applesauce affects the taste and consistency in chocolate chip cookies?
