1cup softened butter (original recipe called for nucoa)
2eggs
1tspvanilla extract
1 ½cupsall-purpose flour
1tspbaking soda
1tspsalt
3cupsold-fashioned oats
½cupchopped walnuts (optional)
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream together white and brown sugar with softened butter. Add two eggs and vanilla extract and mix.
Add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined - flour, salt, baking soda, and oats.
Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips, if desired. You can mix in whatever "goodies" you want including different kinds of nuts, chocolate, and dried fruit.
The original recipe calls for the dough to be rolled in a log and put in the "icebox" overnight. Slice thin and bake for 10 minutes. I made some right away as "drop cookies" and some refrigerated and sliced and both turned out great. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until set, turning baking sheet for even cooking.
