DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together softened butter, light butter, applesauce brown sugar, white sugar, & Splenda. After creamed together, add 2 room temperature eggs (I put my eggs in a cup of hot water for a couple of minutes to speed things up.) and mix. Add in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, pudding, & salt and combine these ingredients.
- Then take the dry ingredients and add to the wet ingredients a little at a time. When incorporated, you can add the mini morsels.
- Spoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for appx. 10 minutes. Pull them from the oven BEFORE they look done. As they cool they will firm up and you will have a very chewy and chocolaty lower fat cookie!
