Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 3/4 cup unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts optional
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until well mixed. Beat in the applesauce.
- Stir in the flour mixture until everything is well-blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts (if using).
- The mixture may be a little wet. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours so it's easier to manage.
