side note: I spent about 6 months tweaking the ingredients to get this cookie just right. If you make substitutions or change measurements, I can't be held responsible. Make changes at your own risk!!!)
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
3/4 cp Land O Lakes Light Butter (Softened)
1/4 cp Applesauce
1 small pkg Chocolate Pudding
1/4 cp White Sugar
1/2 cp Splenda
3/4 cp Brown Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
Combine the above ingredients and mix.
2 Eggs(room temperature) (or egg beater equivalent)
Add Eggs and mix
1 cp. White Flour
1 cp. White Wheat Flour (King Arthur Brand)
2/3 cp. Cocoa Powder
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
Combine these ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk together lightly to incorporate. Then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients just until they are thoroughly combined. Do Not Over Mix.
1 1/4 cps Mini Chocolate Morsels (Yes, it makes a difference!!!)
Add Morsels and stir
Spoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Do not over bake. Pull them from the oven before they look "done". When cooled they will firm up and you'll have a chewy and chocolaty treat. You can add nuts if you like and you can also add dried cherries.

Wow! Six months! I've got to try this recipe that you perfected over so many months. :) Looks amazing.
What size pkg of pudding. The 4 serving size or the larger one? I cant wait to try this one and wont tell my hubby about the lighter changes!
Boy this looks fantastic, but I've a quick question--I can't tolerate any artificial sweeteners--just what would a cup of sugar do rather than the splenda?
You should be fine to replace the splenda with sugar. :)
Made these yesterday and my husband couldnt stop eating them. I used Kroger unsalted butter and reg size chocolate chips since that is what I had on hand and they turned out great! Thank you for this super recipe.
