1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a prepared baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until all is well combined. Add in the chocolate chips to your preference.

Bake the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack and enjoy!
