Oatmeal Cookies—the Chocolate Chip and Blueberry Way

So…confession time. I haven’t actually tried these yet. But Thomas, the guy from Germany who lives down the hall, and his brother approved of them. So I figured they couldn’t be too bad.
Originally from this site.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon allspice or cinnamon
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (I didn’t have any. So I just put in about a 1/2 cup of white sugar and added about 3 Tablespoons of honey. Really, I should have added molasses instead of honey, but I didn’t have any of that either. What happens when you’re a university student…)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups oats
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used fresh, because they don’t have frozen ones here…? And because they were on sale…)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Slightly spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper or silpat mat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and allspice.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, applesauce, sugars, egg and vanilla until well blended. Add flour mixture to applesauce mixture. Mix well. Fold in oats, then chocolate chips and blueberries. Gently, folks!!
4. Drop rounded Tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 20 large cookies.
Then give them to your friends—hopefully friends from China or Germany, because American cookies don’t really exist in those countries…so they have no standard to which to compare you.

By the way...they were good. But I've decided that they're more like breakfast cookies...:) Or the kind that you would have with a big tall cup of hot chocolate or a peppermint latte or something really wonderfully sweet. :)
