½ cup butter, softened
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tsp. baking powder
4 cups goodies like baking chips, nuts, dried fruit
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a stand or hand mixer beat butter, applesauce, and sugars on medium high for 3 minutes or until fluffy. Reduce speed to medium low and add eggs and vanilla, scraping the sides of the bowl if necessary. Add the flour, oats, and baking powder, mix until combined. Stir in the goodies. Scoop by level tablespoon onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute before moving to a cooling rack. Enjoy.
If 4 cups of goodies is seems like too much goodness for one batch of cookies you can substitute more oatmeal or some rice crispies for part of the goodies. J Otherwise just use whatever is in your cupboards. This is a great recipe for emptying out all the partially used bags of goodies sitting in your cupboards that wouldn't be enough for a normal recipe. I did 1/3 cup peanut butter chips, 1/3 cup pecans, 2/3 cup toffee bits, 2/3 cup coconut, 1 cup dried sweetened cranberries, and 1 cup chocolate chips.

| This is the AWESOME vanilla a friend gave me. It is a full quart of vanilla. Good times. |

| My sugar and flour canisters are cute, but not very wide. My 1/2 cup measure only fits halfway into the jar. This is ridiculous. |
