If you really did use 1/2 C applesauce and 1/4 C oil to replace 3/4 shortening, I'd guess this is more likely the culprit. Applesauce/oil is pretty liquidy to replace solid shortening and is not a good idea in cookies unless you make additional modifications. If I'm trying to modify a cookie recipe for the first time, I calculate the fat percentage of the original recipe until I get it down to 25% or so. If this means cutting the fat (margarine/shortening) down more than half, I'll add in some corn syrup, usually 1/2 T for every T of fat.

Modifying cookies is a pretty touchy business, though, so sometimes it just doesn't work out! If the batter is still not firm enough for cookies, pour it in a jelly roll or 9x13 pan and bake it anyway. At least this way you've got a shot at ending up with some decent bars.
