   2      Tablespoon    Butter, softened
   2      Tablespoon    Canola oil
   1      cup           Firmly packed dark brown Sugar
   1      large         Egg
     1/2  cup           Applesauce
   1      teaspoon      Vanilla
   1      teaspoon      Baking powder
     1/2  teaspoon      Baking soda
     1/2  teaspoon      Salt
   1 1/2  cup           All-purpose flour
   2      cup           Regular rolled oats
   6      ounces        semisweet choc. Baking chips
   2      Tablespoon    Granulated sugar

Preparation:

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter, oil, and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg, applesauce, and vanilla; beat until blended. Beat in baking powder, soda, and salt, then flour, until smooth. Scrape side of bowl, then stir in oats and chocolate. Bake dough right away; if allowed to sit, cookies will be dry. Drop dough by 2-tablespoon portions onto 2 lightly oiled 12-by-15-inch baking sheets, spacing evenly. Dip fingertips in granulated sugar, then pat cookies into 1/3-inch-think rounds. Bake in a 350~ oven until pale golden, about 10 minutes; switch pan positions after 5 minutes. Lift to racks; eat warm or cool. Makes about 25.
