Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
============================

This recipe is an attempt to create a cookie that stays soft without the weird 
flavors store brand soft batch cookies have. I tried to combine the chewiest 
factors of oatmeal cookies and chocolate chip.

This is a combination of the Toll House and Quaker Oats cookie recipe. Then just 
a couple substitutions to make it more flexible,

Note: This recipe is vegan.

Ingredients
-----------
- 1.5c chocolate chips
- 1c flour
- 2c quick oats (old-fashioned will work)
- 0.5c white sugar
- 1c brown sugar
- 1t baking soda
- 0.5t salt
- 1t vanilla
- 0.5c apple sauce[^1]
- 1c oil[^1]

Directions
----------
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

3. In a measuring cup combine the liquid ingredients.

4. Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.

5. Drop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet.

6. Bake for 10 min.

[^1]: The oil and applesauce are a primary knob on this recipe. Keep the total 
amount of liquid at 1.5 cups. As the amount of applesauce increases the cookies 
spread less and acquire more of a cake like consistency. More oil causes the 
cookies to spread more so that they get a thinner crispier consistency.
