For the health-conscious person who still craves the taste of chocolate chip cookies. I have developed this recipe. Basically, it substitues applesauce for part of the margarine, and thickens it up with oatmeal. It's not 100% healthy, but it's not nearly as bad as the real thing:

Combine butter, applesauce, sugars and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Add eggs; beat til well blended. Add flour, soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in oatmeal and chips.

Put batter in a 13x9" pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray (i. E., Pam). Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or til browned and springy to the touch. Enjoy!
