Mardi Gras + Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie, Cookie!

1 cup unbleached flour
1 cup rolled oats 
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp.salt
cinnamon to taste 
1/2 cup vegan chocolate or carob chips 
1 cup  sugar in the raw 
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup applesauce 
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup water

In a large bowl mix flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. Add the chips. Make a well in the center and set aside.

In a medium size bowl mix sugar, oil, and applesauce. Mix it well. Add the vanilla and then add the water. Mix it well. Add the wet to the well in the dry.  Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Put them in the oven at 350. Bake for 9-10 minutes

The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer than you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool.

Here is the original recipe.  I have changed a few things, just because it makes my life easier.
