Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Sorry for the poor-quality photos; I was using my iPod.) Since I'm at my parent's house this weekend, I figured I would take up the opportunity of using their fully-stocked kitchen to do some vegan baking! I think the cookies taste wonderful, although the texture is really odd (as is usually the case when using applesauce as a binding agent). My dad didn't like them, but hey, more for me!
Here's is the recipe I used to make these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies:

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup instant oatmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 F.
• In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar, apple sauce, and vanilla extract. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and oatmeal. Slowly add water to reach a thick, sticky consistency. Add in chocolate chips.
• Roll into balls using a tablespoon and bake for around 15 minutes on a cookie sheet.

Makes 15-25 cookies.
