2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. applesauce
5 c. oatmeal
4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 (8 oz.) Hershey chocolate candy bar
3 c. walnuts, optional

Cream butter and sugars, add eggs, vanilla and applesauce. Sift together flour, salt, soda and baking powder. Process oatmeal in food processor until it is powder. Add flour and oatmeal to butter mixture and mix. Add chips and candy bar which has been peeled into small pieces and nuts. Place golf ball size dough on baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 9 dozen cookies. This makes a good raisin oatmeal cookie. Before adding the chips, set aside part of the dough and add raisins. The applesauce makes the cookie moist and is optional. They freeze well.
