1 Onion (you will not need to use the whole thing)
2 TSP Olive Oils
Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Dill to Taste (heavier on the dill)
 
1) Preheat oven to 350*
Bake chicken for 20-25 minutes

No-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
 
What you need:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of applesauce
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
 
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
 2.) Mix the applesauce, sugar and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Gradually stir in the flour, then fold in the chocolate chips.
 3.) Drop large a spoonful of the cookie mix onto a lightly greased baking sheet
 4.) Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms are golden. Cool on wire racks. Tip: when you take them out, put them on a spread out paper bag. It'll absorb even more grease and it's easy clean-up.
