Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet to keep the cookies from sticking. In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until the mixture is nice and smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Once everything is combined, gently fold in the oats, cranberries, and chocolate chips. Scoop out generous spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Pop the cookies into the oven and bake until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 15 minutes. When they're done, let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
