Chocolate Chip Cookies (vegan, apple sauce, banana, coconut oil)

Very ripe bananas and dates give these cookies almost all the sweetness they need, and heart healthy coconut oil takes the place of butter. I substitute some of the chocolate with raisins and add lots of walnuts which also cuts down on the sugar. All I can say about how they taste is that with three teenagers in the house they are gone within a few hours. I don’t tell them too much about what I’m doing, I just bake!
