2 tb Butter, softened                  1/2 ts Baking soda
     2 tb Canola oil                        1/2 ts Salt
     1 c  Firmly packed dark brown        1 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
          Sugar                               2 c  Regular rolled oats
     1 lg Egg                                 1 pk (6 oz.) semisweet choc.
   1/2 c  Applesauce                               Baking chips
     1 ts Vanilla                             2 tb Granulated sugar
     1 ts Baking powder                            -(thereabouts)
 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.
