Instructions ------------ Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream margarine and sugar. Mix dry ingredients; add to sugar mixture alternately with applesauce. Mix in vanilla and 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips. Spread into greased 9" x 13" baking dish (see note below). Sprinkle remaining chips on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Note: even when the baking dish is well-greased, these tend to stick. Be sure to use a baking pan/glass dish that can stand up to a stiff metal spatula, since that's what you'll want for removal purposes.
