Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
 
2 c. all purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 c (2 sticks) butter or margarine (I use 1 stick butter and 1/2 c shortening)
1 c granulated sugar
1 c packed light brown sugar
2 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 c chocolate morsels
2 c quick oats
I add a little more than a cup of nuts
 
Combine:  Flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in morsels and oats (and nuts if desired).  Drop by round tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.  
Bake:  in preheated 350 F oven for 8 to 11 minutes or until golden brown (I probably undercook them a bit).  Let stand for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.  Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
