Steps:
- Adjust two oven racks to the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the flour and oats to a food processor and pulse until the oats are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk to combine. Whisk together the egg, applesauce and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or to a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the applesauce-egg mixture and beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the flour-oats mixture in two batches, mixing until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. All the batter won't fit on the two sheets; cookies will need to be baked in batches. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Once the lined baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter. Store the cookies at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This healthier version of the original chocolate chip cookie is still chewy and full of flavor. I came up with this recipe on my own so that I could feel a little less guilty about snacking on my favorite sweet treat. Unfortunately, I think they are so delicious that I tend to eat more than I should!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. The chocolate chips are the star of the show in these cookies, so it's important to use ones that you love. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before eating them.

These whole foods chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that the whole family will love. They're made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are free of refined sugar and processed foods. So next time you're craving a chocolate chip cookie, reach for this recipe.
